Going home for Christmas
Can't wait to be on my way
To see once more the folks I've been missing
This long and many a day
Can't wait to get that old feeling
Being back where I belong
I've saved my fare and I'll soon be there
It's Christmas and I'm going home
Going home for Christmas
And the welcome that's waiting there
I'll say goodbye to the lights of Broadway
Farewell to old Time Square
Thought my home is plain and simple
It's the place where I was born
And Pleeker Street just can't compete
It's Christmas and I'm going home
I've saved my fare and I'll soon be there
It's Christmas and I'm going home
Going home for Christmas
The way that it used to be
See the candle burning there in the window
The fairy lights on the tree
Ear the laughter of the children
See the wonder in they're eyes
Bring on the snow and the mistletoe
It's Christmas and I'm going home
So bring on the snow and the mistletoe
It's Christmas and I'm going home
I'm going home
