I know my aunts still have Their personalities I just hope my cousins don't think They're too cool for me Cause it's been a while Since they've seen me But I'll be home for Christmas Eve Years have passed since I've seen Where my Grampy lies And the restaurant closed down That knew his order every time All the streets I call memory lane I'll be sure to see Cause I'll be home for Christmas Eve I wish that my niece could have wondered at the lights And played at the playground With the silver slide As she spends Christmas in heaven, at least We're not alone to grieve Cause we're home for Christmas Eve As I lay on the couch because all the rooms are full I think how happy I am to sit at the adult table And how fast kids grow and how one day I'll have some of my own I can't wait for them to think I love Home on Christmas Eve
