The Christmas wreath is on the door, the lights are on the tree
Wrapping paper’s torn and children laugh with glee
A toast of Yuletide cheer while chocolates wait in line
That family feeling
The happy healing
Of being home at Christmastime

It’s good to be home for Christmas
If anyone is missing, no need to despair
It’s good to be home for Christmas
Just dance beneath the mistletoe, see them in your heart, they will be there

Brothers, sisters, young and old, Aunts and Uncle’s too
Cousins spread out everywhere the way that families do
The way you know it’s Christmas, is to Keep it in your mind
While spreading Joy
To girls and boys
And everyone at Christmastime

It’s good to be home for Christmas
If anyone is missing, no need to despair
It’s good to be home for Christmas
Just dance beneath the mistletoe, see them in your heart, they will be there

Quiet night is in my mind
A star to guide them as a sign

It’s good to be home for Christmas
If anyone is missing, no need to despair
It’s good to be home for Christmas
Just dance beneath the mistletoe, see them in your heart, they will be there
