Intro

Snowbird, tying ribbons up in your hair

 Wishing that I could be there, stay awake, stay aware

 'Cause I'll try to stay awake throughout the night

 and I will chase the sun in flight, 'til I'm there, I'll be there

Ooh, winter came, I was gone

 Flight departures, times we've lost

 Saw you standing in the snow, such a vibrant glow

Oh! Did you ever think I'd come home?

 I couldn't spend this night alone

 'Cause you're number one on my wishlist, baby

Oh! In a little bit I'll be there,

 Like a star shot through the air

 To make a check mark on my wishlist, baby

Airplane, could you take me far away

 To the snow enveloped plains

 'Cause she's there, 'cause she's there

I fly, in the coast-to-coast charade

 But if only for one day,

 I'll be there, I'll be there

Ooh, winter came, I was gone

 Flight departures, times we've lost

 Saw you standing in the snow, such a vibrant glow

Oh! Did you ever think I'd come home?

 I couldn't spend this night alone

 'Cause you're number one on my wishlist, baby

Oh! In a little bit I'll be there,

 Like a star shot through the air

 To make a check mark on my wishlist, baby

Oooh, I promise I'll be there

 'Cause you're the number one on my wishlist, baby

(x2)

I've got time, 24 hours,

waiting for the go-ahead from the tower

If I had just one wish

Get me home for Christmas

(x2)

Oh! Did you ever think I'd come home?

 I couldn't spend this night alone

 'Cause you're number one on my wishlist, baby

Oh! In a little bit I'll be there,

 Like a star shot through the air

 To make a check mark on my wishlist, baby

Oooh, I promise I'll be there

 'Cause you're the number one on my wishlist, baby

(x2)

Oh! Did you ever think I'd come home?

 I couldn't spend this night alone

 'Cause you're number one on my wishlist, baby

Oh! In a little bit I'll be there,

 Like a star shot through the air

 To make a check mark on my wishlist, baby
