How long has it been

Since you felt that feeling of wonder?

Like a child wide awakeCountin′ down on Christmas Eve

We're in such a hurry for life to begin

Do you ever just wish you could go back again?

What if I told you the young and the old you

Are not quite as far apart as you might think?

Come home, come home, come home

Come home for Christmas

Let your heart return once again

To the joy and the peace

The love and the hope

It′s all right here waiting

For you to come home for Christmas

And come home for good

Turn around and you'll see

There's a light in the window and a star on the tree

Lead the past out the door

All the years and the tears

Let them fall to the floor

Follow the sound of laughter and song

Leading you back to the place where you always belong

Come home, come home, come home

Come home for Christmas

Let your heart return once again

To the joy and the peace

The love and the hope

It′s all right here waiting

For you to come home for Christmas

And come for good

Come home to a manger

Come home to a story that′s still true

Come home to a Savior

Who came down from heaven just for you

How long has it been

Since you and your heart talked to Jesus?

Come home, come home, come home

Come home for Christmas

Let your heart return once again

To the joy and the peace

The love and the hope

It's all right here waiting

For you to come home for Christmas

And come home for good

Come home for Christmas

And come home for good
