Sitting in some hotel room
   Some place far away
   Saw a shop light screaming Christmas
   Bought your present there today
  
   Pre-Chorus:
   I'll be home on Christmas day
   I am just a thought away
   And every Christmas tree
   Reminds me where I'd rather be
  
   The drunken Santa on the corner
   Looks a little blue
   But the twinkle in his eye dear
   Looks a little like you
  
   Chorus:
   I'll be home on Christmas day
   I am just a thought away
   And every Christmas tree
   Reminds me where I'd rather be
   Home on Christmas day
   I am just a thought away
   But anywhere I'll be
   You will always be Christmas to me
  
   Something about this season
   Makes me feel a little queer
   Everybody's so dam jolly
   I wish you were here
  
   Chorus:
   I'll be home on Christmas day
   I am just a thought away
   And every Christmas tree
   Reminds me where I'd rather be
   Home on Christmas day
   I am just a thought away
   But anywhere I'll be
   You will always be Christmas to me
