Jennifer Hudson - Make It To Christmas Lyrics

Seven days a week, eleven whole months
Feels like I've been working and working too much
I ain't had no time for the ones that I love
What I really need is that season to come

Bring all our problems back home and unpack it
Like pullin' old boxes down out of the attic
It ain't always perfect, we know
That's just the way that it goes

I know the year's been rough
And we need this break so much
From a world so cold, we're living (oh-oh, yeah)
Well, there's a light at the end
And, baby, it's green and it's red
I know we'll make it if we just make it to Christmas (ooh)

The snow's comin' down, twelve days to go
I can already smell that home cookin' on the stove
When the door opens up, I can leave it all behind me
A smile on that face with a lil' somethin' shiny

We can unwind from that holiday drama (ooh)
Snuggle by the fire in our matching pajamas
It ain't always perfect, you know (ooh)
That's just the way that it goes

I know the year's been rough
And we need this break so much
From a world so cold, we're living
Well, there's a light at the end
And, baby, it's green and it's red
I know we'll make it if we just make it to Christmas (oh)

We've been singin' songs that's enough higher (ooh)
In the livin' room (in the livin' room, yeah)
Drivin' back from the North Side
Lookin' for a santa, we always do (ooh)
We're grown but we still believe
Christmas is all we need (all we need)
To bring us together, get us through whatever, it's true

I know the year's been rough
And we need this break so much
From a world so cold, we're living
Well, there's a light at the end
And, baby, it's green and it's red (oh, yeah)
I know we'll make it (I know we'll make it)
I swear that we'll make it (I swear that we'll make it)
Yeah, I know we'll make it if we just make it to Christmas (oh, yeah)
(Oh)
