Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'll be home for the holidays

Was thinkin' I'd stay away

And, oh, no

I can't wait to see your smiling face

Baby, I'm on the way

Hold on

[Verse 2]

We've been together for a while now

Oh, Lord

And there ain't nothing more important

Than being with you now

[Verse 3]

I'll be home for the holidays

Was thinkin' I'd stay away

Oh, no

I can't wait to see your smiling face

Baby, I'm on my way

So hold on

[Verse 4]

We made the most of not much at all

Survived on our faith in our love

Oh, Lord

Look at our family, so beautiful

Oh, Lord

And I just can't wait to get home

I'm in love with you

[Verse 5]

I'll be home for the holidays

Was thinkin' I'd stay away

Oh, no

I can't wait to see your smiling face

Baby, I'm on my way

So hold on

[Verse 6]

I'll never leave you for long

(I'll never leave you for long)

You are the beat of my heart

Baby, hold on, we have memories

Of our love

Love

(Oh)

[Verse 7]

I'll be home for the holidays

Was thinkin' I'd stay away

Oh, no

I can't wait to see your smiling face

Baby, I'm on my way

So hold on

[Verse 8]

I'll be home for the holidays

Was thinkin' I'd stay away

Oh, no

I can't wait to see your smiling face

Baby, I'm on my way

So hold on
