[Verse 1: Justin]
Crossing the ocean with my window view
Thinking of the time I spent with you
And I close my eyes and I see the family
Making out their wish lists
All dressed up for Christmas
On my own for too many years
I miss the happiness, I miss the tears
[Chorus: All & Justin]
When I close my eyes and I'm all alone
I think of all the love we share
When I need a friend or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
'Cause this year (this year)
I'll be home for Christmas day
[Verse 2: JC & All]
I see the children playing in the snow
Precious memories that I used to know
And I see the love in a mother's eyes
(Mother's eyes)
Always there to teach us
The real meaning of Christmas (ah-ah)
On my own for too many years (too many years)
I miss the happiness, I miss the tears
[Chorus: All, JC & Justin]
When I close my eyes and I'm all alone
I think of all the love we share
When I need a friend or a helping hand
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
'Cause this year (this year)
I'll be home for Christmas day
[Bridge: All, Justin & JC]
It doesn't matter (it doesn't matter)
How grown you think you are (ooh-ooh)
Something happens to ya
When you see that shining star
[Chorus: All, Justin & JC]
When I close my eyes and I'm all alone
I think of all the love we share
(I think of all the love)
When I need a friend or a helping hand
(You are there)
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
'Cause this year (this year)
I'll be home for Christmas
(Close my eyes) When I close my eyes
(All alone) And I'm all alone
(I think about the love we share)
I think of all the love we share
(Need a friend) When I need a friend
(Helping hand) Or a helping hand
(I know that you'll be there)
I know that you will all be there
I've been gone for so many holidays
But you can light the fire
I'm sending out this wire
(Sending the wire)
'Cause this year (ah-ah-ah-ah)
I'll be home for Christmas day
[Outro: All, JC & Justin]
