I'm a thousand miles away
It's not snowing in L.A.
But I'm phoning just to say
I'm sorryAll the flights have been delayed
I've got nowhere here to stay
But if I can find my way
I'll hurryJust hang up the Christmas lights
And I'll do the rest tonight
Just tell the kids I'm coming
I swear that I'll be runningAnd under the Christmas tree
Together, yeah, we will be
I promise
I'm gonna walk
If I have to run
I'll stand on the highway
And stop someone
I'll cross the deserts, an ocean
A river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars
Just to find where you areYou can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home
By Christmas EveAnd I know it's all on you
Keep it together like you're glue
And everything you do
I notice
So I'll bring presents, I'll bring wine
Mistletoe for you and I
And I'll be there just in time
To show itJust hang up the Christmas lights
And I'll do the rest tonight
And tell the kids I'm coming
I swear that I'll be runningUnder the Christmas tree
Together, yeah, we will be
I promiseI'm gonna walk
If I have to run
I'll stand on the highway
And stop someone
I'll cross the deserts, an ocean
A river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars
Just to find where you areYou can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home
By Christmas EveI'll find my way back to California
I'll follow the map, yeah, to somewhere warmer
I'll carry my bags just until I can hold you againI'm gonna walk
If I have to run
I'll stand on the highway
And stop someone
I'll cross the deserts, an ocean
A river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars
Just to find where you areYou can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home
By Christmas Eve
