(words & music by tony macaulay)
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
Thought 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
