Crossing the ocean with my window view    thinking of the times I spent with you    When I close my eyes and see the family    Making out their wishlist all dressed up for Christmas    On my own for too many years    I miss the happiness I miss the tears    Chorus:    When I close my eyes and I'm all alone    I think of all the love we shared    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, I'll be home for Christmas day    I see the children playing in the snow    Precious memories that I used to know    When I see the love, in the lovers eye    Always there to teach us, the real meaning of Christmas    On my own, for too many years    I miss the happiness, i miss the tears    Chorus    It doesn't matter, how grown you think you are    Something happens to ya    when you see that shinning star    Chorus 2X
