Hurry Home For Christmas

Verse 1
The lights are in the window, the fire’s burning low,
I’ve hung the Christmas stockings right beside the fire’s glow.
I’ve wrapped up all your presents, tied the ribbons neat and tight,
But it isn’t quite the same here without you home tonight.

Verse 2
The snow is softly falling on the old familiar lane,
I’ve kept the kettle boiling, waiting just to hear your name.
Your slippers by the doorway, like they know you’re on your way,
And I whisper to the quiet, “Please be home for Christmas Day.”

Chorus
So hurry home for Christmas, love,
Where the warmth is waiting here.
Hurry home for Christmas, love,
To the laughter and the cheer.
No mistletoe means anything if I’m standing on my own,
So hurry home for Christmas, love…
Come back where you belong.

Verse 3
I’ve saved your favourite jumper, the one that makes you smile,
And I’ve kept our old traditions, every silly little style.
Your chair beside the tree still looks empty in the glow,
And the carols by the fireside sound lonely, soft, and slow.

Verse 4
The neighbours all are calling, asking when you might appear,
They know you bring the stories that make Christmas feel more near.
I’ve poured a glass of mulled wine, but it doesn’t taste the same,
Not until I hear the door and you call my name again.

Chorus
So hurry home for Christmas, love,
Where the warmth is waiting here.
Hurry home for Christmas, love,
To the laughter and the cheer.
No mistletoe means anything if I’m standing on my own,
So hurry home for Christmas, love…
Come back where you belong.

Bridge
Every bauble, every candle, every memory on this tree,
Reminds me that the best of Christmas lives in you and me.
The world can wait till January, let the snow fall where it may,
Just come home to where your heart is, just be here on Christmas Day.

Final Chorus
So hurry home for Christmas, love,
I’m counting every mile.
Hurry home for Christmas, love,
I just want to see you smile.
No winter night can keep us apart when love is burning strong,
So hurry home for Christmas, love…
Come back where you belong.
Hurry home for Christmas…
I’ve been waiting all along.
