If you said a year ago This is how it would be Talking down a telephone Just like this I'd have said "The hell you know?" I wouldn't believe I really thought we'd all be home Come Christmas Eve But such is life! And so it is! And I thank God you're mine to miss And when it hurts sometimes And all you really wanna do is cry Know I'm only one call away And when you hang the lights Promise me you'll leave 'em there to stay When I'm home we'll do Christmas Day When we all come out and we're safe and sound And we're back to how we were I'll be on the first plane home (You know I will!) When we all come out and we're safe and sound And we're back to how we were I'll be on the first plane home Home This will be the year we learned How precious it is Every breath we take from birth Like this one! I'd trade in all I've ever earned It ain't nothing to give Just to feel a love returned Like this one is But such is life! And so it is! And I thank God you're mine to miss And when it hurts sometimes And all you really wanna do is cry Know I'm only one call away And when you hang the lights Promise me you'll leave 'em there to stay When I'm home we'll do Christmas Day When we all come out and we're safe and sound And we're back to how we were (How we were!) I'll be on the first plane home (First plane home!) When we all come out and we're safe and sound And we're back to how we were I'll be on the first plane home (First plane home) Home I miss you so
