Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
[ VERSE 1 ]
I look out the window,
And see it starts to snow,
The neighbor's puttin' up Santas,
The Christmas lights gettin' hung up
Sadness falls in my face,
Knowing you ain't home today
It's been so long since I've seen your face,
Way to long for a warm embrace

[ CHORUS ]

Why won't you come today?
On christmas day?
I want you home, I want you home for Christmas
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day
To hold my hand and be with me for Christmas,
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day
I want you home, I want you home for Christmas
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day
To hold my hand and be with me for Christmas,
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day

[ VERSE 2 ]

It's hard to be alone,
Buy your presents when you're gone
For you to see your child's face,
To hold your family-just one day
Haven't you put up the tree?
Hangin' mistletoe just to kiss me
To dress like Santa so the kids,
Won't know we bought the presents
I don't wanna stay away

[ CHORUS ]

Why won't you come today? (I want you home)
On Christmas Day? ('Cause I miss you)
I want you home, I want you home for Christmas,
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day
To hold my hand and be with me for Christmas,
I want you home, i want you home on christmas day
I want you home, I want you home for Christmas,
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day
To hold my hand and be with me for Christmas,
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day

[ BRIDGE ]

I wish upon a star,
That wherever you are,
You will think of me,
You will think of me,
Think of me

[ CHORUS 2x ]
I want you home, I want you home for Christmas,
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day
To hold my hand and be with me for Christmas,
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day
I want you home, I want you home for Christmas,
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day
To hold my hand and be with me for Christmas,
I want you home, I want you home on Christmas Day
