 If I get home on Christmas day

I won't need soft words to say

 I'll miss you and I can stay a while

You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile

 If I get home before midnight

 While you're still sleeping tight

 I ll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

 If I get home on Christmas day

 Writing letters everyday

 Never really seem to say

 The way I feel deep in this heart of mine

 Though I'm half a world away

 If we're patient and we pray

 Know I'll get my chance with you this time

If I get home on Christmas day

 I won't need soft words to say

 I'll miss you and I can stay a while

 You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile

 If I get home before midnight

 While you're still sleeping tight

 I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

 If I get home on Christmas day

 I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

 If I get home on Christmas day
