Twenty seven days until Christmas and all I see
Is the sun shining bright, blue skies, and palm trees
No pretty white lights at night or falling snow
But I'll sit and wait for the day when it's time to go
A Northbound flight to city lights
The town I know in Ohio
A chance to be with you once again
I'll be home for Christmas
Don't you wait for me
Let's light up the tree and deck the halls
So we can all sing fa-la-la
The snow is falling, the fire is calming
And there's no where else I'd rather be but here
Twenty seven days until Christmas and all I do
Is sit here day after day and think about you
And wonder how you've been, and how you are
and if the notes I wrote you got that far
Cause' being a thousand miles away
can feel like a lifetime
I'll be home for Christmas
Don't you wait for me
Let's light up the tree and deck the halls
So we can all sing fa-la-la
The snow is falling, the fire is calming
And there's no where else I'd rather be but here
