[ VERSE 1 ]
i look out the window,
and see it starts to snow,
the neighbor's puttin' up Santa's,
the christmas lights gettin' hung up.
sadness fall 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,
by your presents when you're gone.
for you to see your childs' face,
to hold your family - just one day.
have 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.
[ 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 the stars,
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.
