Snowflakes fall on cold ground
Silent nights no family sound
I whisper to the stars above
Feel the ache of distant love
String the lights, but they don't glow
Memories wrapped in a deep sorrow
Pictures fade on the mantelpiece
Heartache that won't seem to cease
Oh I want to be home for Christmas
Feel the warmth of what I've missed
In their arms where love was bound
But in this silence I am found
Halls are decked, but still so bare
Candles burn, but you're not there
Every song brings tears to eyes
Lonely nights beneath these skies
Time has passed and walls grew tall
But gentle whispers still recall
A place where love was born to stay
Wish it could heal this heart one day
Oh I want to be home for Christmas
Feel the warmth of what I've missed
In their arms where love was bound
But in this silence I am found
