By Christmas Eve

I'm a thousand miles away
It's not snowing in LA
But I'm phoning just to say, I'm sorry
All the flights have been delayed, I've got nowhere to stay
But if I can find my way, I'll hurry

Just hang up the Christmas lights
And I'll do the rest tonight
Just tell the kids I'm coming
I swear that I'll be running
And under the Christmas tree, together yet we will be
I promise

I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans
A river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve

And I know it's all on you
Keep it together like you're glue
And everything you do, I notice
So I'll bring presents, I'll bring wine
A mistletoe for you and I
And I'll be there just in time to show it

Just hang up the Christmas lights, and I'll do the rest tonight
And tell the kids I'm coming, I swear that I'll be running
Under the Christmas tree, together yet we will be
I promise

I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve

Whoa, I'll find my way back to California
I'll follow the map, yeah, to somewhere warmer
I'll carry my bags just until I can hold you again

Oh I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve
