Arista, 1981
Everyone's comin' for Christmas
Everyone soon will be here
And I'm calling again
Cause I've never been
Without you this time of the year
Everyone's sayin' how are you
Knowin' full well I'm not much
And presents to me
Means you here beside me
The love I'm so used to, the touch
Here in December it's hard to remember
The words of July ... that made us both cry
We've tried it apart and I know from my heart
That it's not working well ... it's just simply hell
Everyone's watchin' for Santa
But you're all I'm longin' to see
To hold you once more, just like before
Or it won't be like Christmas to me
We've tried it apart and i know from my heart
That it's not working well ... not working well
Won't you please come home for Christmas
You're all that I have in this world
You know that I'll wait, won't give up hopin'
No matter how late, the door will stay open
I'm in love with you girl
So come home for Christmas to me
