Lyrics
You know that I’ll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you’ll be coming home for Christmas
Please say you won’t forget me
That every moment’s emtpy
But only ’til you’re coming home for Christmas
If I only had wings
Then I would fly to you
Through all the snowy weather
We’d be together
No one makes me feel the way you do
You know that I’ll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you’ll be coming home
Home for Christmas
