lyrics

FROM THIS HOSPITAL BED,
I CAN SEE SNOW IS FALLING,
AND I WISH I WAS THERE WITH YOU.
I SWEAR THAT I CAN HEAR,
THE BELLS RINGING OUT ACROSS OUR TOWN.
ALTHOUGH I’M FAR FROM NEAR,
I ALMOST FEEL I’M HOME.
THIS CHRISTMAS I’LL BE THERE IN MY HEART AND MY MIND
HERE’S HOPING THAT NEXT YEAR THE DAYS WILL BE KINDER
WHEN WE SAID OUR GOODBYES ON ITS EVE,
AND VISITING HOURS, THEY HAVE CEASED.
YOU DISAPPEAR INTO THE NIGHT,
YOU STILL LINGER HERE IN MY MIND.
THIS CHRISTMAS I’LL BE THERE IN MY HEART AND MY MIND,
HERE’S HOPING THAT NEXT YEAR THE DAYS WILL BE KIND.
AND I HOPE THAT THERE’LL STILL BE CHEER,
AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.
THIS CHRISTMAS I’LL BE THERE IN MY HEART AND MY MIND,
HERE’S HOPING THAT NEXT YEAR THE DAYS WILL BE KIND.
NEXT CHRISTMAS I’LL BE HOME TO BE BY YOUR SIDE,
NEXT CHRISTMAS I’LL BE HOME TO BE BY YOUR SIDE.
NEXT CHRISTMAS
