Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm a thousand miles away
It's not snowin' in L.A.
But I'm phonin' just to say
I'm sorry
All the flights have been delayed
I've got nowhere here to stay
But if I can find my way
I'll hurry
[Verse 2]
Just hang up the Christmas lights
And I'll do the rest tonight
Just tell the kids I'm comin'
I swear that I'll be runnin'
And under the Christmas tree
Together, yeah, we will be
I promise
[Verse 3]
Oh, 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 are
You can count on me
[Verse 4]
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home
By Christmas Eve
[Verse 5]
And 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 it
[Verse 6]
Just hang up the Christmas lights
And I'll do the rest tonight
And tell the kids I'm comin'
I swear that I'll be runnin'
Under the Christmas tree
Together, yeah, we will be
I promise
[Verse 7]
Oh, 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 are
You can count on me
[Verse 8]
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home
By Christmas Eve
[Verse 9]
Whoa, I'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 again
[Verse 10]
Oh, 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 are
You can count on me
[Verse 11]
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home
By Christmas Eve
