[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh
Mmm, hmmm

[Verse 1]
Mama's in the kitchen, Christmas on the stove
Daddy's in the wood shed with axe and overcoat
Everybody's helpin' to place and trim the tree
The picture's almost perfect, it's only missin' me

[Chorus]
But I'm comin' home for Christmas
Save a place for me
I'll arrive before St. Nicholas
Places gifts beneath the tree
Leave a candle burnin'
And a key underneath the mat
I'm comin' home for Christmas
You can count on that

[Post-Chorus]
(Let it snow)
Oh-oh
(Let it snow)

[Verse 2]
Snow is gently fallin' as I make my way toward home
I hear sweet memories callin'; I've been a long time gone
Nothin' like the family and friends to celebrate
The fun, the food, the music of this special holiday

[Chorus]
Oh, but I'm comin' home for Christmas
Save a place for me
I'll arrive before St. Nicholas
Places gifts beneath the tree
So leave the candle burnin'
Leave a key underneath the mat
I'm comin' home for Christmas
We can all depend on that

[Bridge]
Hang holly in the window (In the window)
Hang tinsel on the tree (On the tree)
Hang mistletoe above the door
And hang your hopes on me

[Chorus]
I'm comin' home for Christmas
No place I'd rather be
I'm comin' home for Christmas
(Comin' home for Christmas)
You can count on me
I'm comin' home for Christmas
You can count on me

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Mmm-mmm-mmm

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
