I'm writing to say I'll be home for Christmas Seeing faces I ain't seen for so long I can't wait to see the wall to wall Carpeting you had installed In the front room, the one we never used. I just can't wait to be home for Christmas Even though a few are dead and gone There'll be sister Sue, and brother Steve Who spent his life ignoring me But I don't care I'm coming home for you Home for Christmas Home for Christmas I'm writing to say I'll be home for Christmas To some, I guess, I'm just a name Like Uncle Dick, who you used to say Left his wife and sailed away To Australia, never to return I'm writing to say I'll be home for Christmas 'Cause who knows when we'll meet again? Can't afford the round trip fares Guess I'm not the millionaire I was planning to be But I promise you'll see me this Christmas I'll be home for Christmas
