Against All Odds - I Want to Feel Home for Christmas Lyrics

I don't want snow
I don't want mistletoe
I don't want bells that ring
No red and green
Or lights that gleam
On a Christmas tree
I don't want presents
I just want to be present
In the memories
That'll fade to dreams
Like you and me
When the world was glittery
I want to feel home for Christmas
I want to bask in the warmth and glow
Of my family the love they bring
Of every pet and friend that had to leave
My Parents are getting grayer
And I know no one lives forever
But if I could want just one thing
I want to feel the home Christmas used to be
I don't want chestnuts
I don't want caroling
Don't get me wrong
But there's no Christmas song
That'll lift me up
Since you have gone
I don't want holly
You can tell old saint nick
He can bring me coal
But what he doesn't know
Is Christmas sucks
When you're getting old
I want to feel home for Christmas
I want to bask in the warmth and glow
Of my family the love they bring
Of every pet and friend that had to leave
My Parents are getting grayer
And I know no one lives forever
But if I could want just one thing
I want to feel the home Christmas used to be
I want to feel home for Christmas
I want to feel home
I want to feel home for Christmas
I want to feel home
I'd give up every cold and starry night
To have you right here by my side
I'd burn every damn Christmas tree
Just to live one more memory
I don't want presents
I just want to be present
In the memories
That'll fade to dreams
I just want to feel the home that Christmas used to be
