Oh I'll be home for Christmas
If I can be there
Oh I wouldn't wanna miss it
If I'm free this year
I'll be home for Christmas
If I've got the time
Set a place for me
And maybe I'll swing by

Yeah, I know it's been a minute
That I'm only halfway in it
But I hope that it still shows that you've been on my mind

I'll be home for Christmas
Maybe a few days late
Travel's just a little cheaper
If you can pick your own dates
Haven't checked the books so I can't say just yet
There's a hundred parties I already can't forget

And I know it's been a minute
That I'm only halfway in it
But I hope that it still shows that you're a friend of mine

Yeah, I'm sorry it's been a minute
That my heart just isn't in it
But I hope that you still know you're always on my mind
I'll be home for Christmas but I can't stay long
Sure I'll carol with the family for maybe just one more song
When it's done, I know we'll start over a hundredth time
Yeah, Christmas never ends, so maybe

I'll be home for Christmas
If I can be there
I'll be home for Christmas
If I'm free this year
I'll be home for Christmas
If I've got the time
Set a place for me and maybe

I'll be home for Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
Set a place for me and maybe

I'll be home for Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
