I’ll Be Home for Christmas

The snow is falling down
The temperature is dropping
Lights light up the town
And everyone is Christmas shopping
But I'm lost in the crowd
Oh, why can't I remember
The reason I'm so down
And why this happens to me every cold December?

It's a feeling that I just can't dismiss
I'm gonna spend a lonely Christmas
Sitting here and staring back at my TV
A Miracle on 34th Street
On the all-night TV repeat
Just Bob Hope and Santa Claus and me

Those conversations I can't stand
'
Cause I know what they're gonna say
"Tell us all your Christmas plans."
When they know I'll be home for the holidays

So why can't they mind their own business?
I'm gonna spend a lonely Christmas
Sitting in my living room
For all they know I might have family, friends, and neighbors
Christmas cards and wrapping paper
Trimmings on the tree and mistletoe

But they can't hurt me anymore
If I won't share their Christmas spirit
They won't hang holly at my door
They won't sing carols, won't come knocking
Won't come near it

So why can't they mind their own business?
I wanna spend a lonely Christmas
Sitting in my living room but that's OK
I don't need no one else, I got my
Microwave and a turkey pot pie
Just another lonely Christmas day
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Just another lonely Christmas day
Hey hey hey
Just another lonely Christmas day
