I would write a thousand letters Just to talk to you I would climb a hundred mountains Just to be with you I would make it snow in summer If it meant you'd stay Turn back time when we're together Make it Christmas Day Look at the stars Twinkling bright in the dark Like the snow in the cold winter sun Here by the fire The sound of your voice warms my heart But it don't feel like Christmas without you in my arms All over town People running around They've got stars in their eyes Hurrying home To be close to the one that they love Light on the tree, Shining shadows on me As I wait by the fire Presents and dreams but for me You'd be enough (CHORUS) I'll be waiting by the phone (I'll be waiting for you) Til my baby's coming home (I'll be waiting for you) I'll be praying every night (I'll be praying) You'll be back soon by my side I'll be waiting by the phone (I'll be waiting) Till my baby's coming home (I'll be waiting for you) I'll be praying every night (I'll be praying) You'll be back soon by my side Count the days, count the days I've been so lonely, come home baby It ain't Christmas til you're here with me Count the days, count the days Til this wait is through, come home baby Christmas just ain't the same without you When I think my world could fall apart And I'm damn near broken in my heart And my world is falling down In my mind I will keep you safe from harm Till you're lying in my arms Until then I'll wait somehow (CHORUS) I'll be waiting by the phone (I'll be waiting for you) Til my baby's coming home (I'll be waiting for you) I'll be praying every night (I'll be praying) You'll be back soon by my side I'll be waiting by the phone (I'll be waiting) Till my baby's coming home (I'll be waiting for you) I'll be praying every night (I'll be praying) You'll be back soon by my side
