By Christmas Eve

I'm a thousand miles away

It's not snowing in L.A.

But I'm phoning 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

Just hang up the Christmas lights

And I'll do the rest tonight

Just tell the kids I'm coming

I swear that I'll be running

And under the Christmas tree

Together, yeah, we will be

I promise

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

Make a wish, close your eyes and believe

I'll be home, home, home, home, home

By Christmas Eve

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

Just hang up the Christmas lights

And I'll do the rest tonight

And tell the kids I'm coming

I swear that I'll be running

Under the Christmas tree

Together, yeah, we will be

I promise

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

Make a wish, close your eyes and believe

I'll be home, home, home, home, home

By Christmas Eve

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

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

Make a wish, close your eyes and believe

I'll be home, home, home, home, home

By Christmas Eve
