FOR YOU ON CHRISTMAS

(Reilly)

I'm coming home, for you on Christmas Day
for you on Christmas Day
in my dreams I will stay
at home on Christmas Day


Snow flakes, pelt me in the head
is the first thing that her letter said
3 more weeks left to go,
the kids are piling up the snow

needs my help in picking out the tree
new lights in a box, waiting for me
a package from my mom, a letter from my dad
it's all waiting for me as I land

baby's growing up, and looks like me
that's what she said, just wait and see
now it's time to move, the captain said
fold the letter in my pocket, 20 times I've read

while I'm here I'd rather be dead
terror stops at nothing, no end
seems I've been here forever, to fail
time's a theif and I'm broken again

try to hold on
I know you're so strong
nobody's listening
I'm your end song

I'm coming home, for you on Christmas Day
for you on Christmas Day
in my dreams I will stay
at home on Christmas Day
