"Wishing You Home for Christmas"

(Copyright 1996 Sherri Gough)

This song is dedicated to my family and friends in Minnesota, so far away from Nashville, TN

Verse 1:

Christmas is coming, I can feel it in the air

White snow is falling and there's people everywhere

But there's one thing that's missing from this perfect holiday

I know you had to leave but I wanted you to stay

Chorus:

I'm wishing you home for Christmas, though we're miles apart

I'll keep a candle burning 'til you're here in my arms

'Cause what good is a mistletoe without your love here

I'm wishing you home for Christmas, hoping Santa brings me you this year

Verse 2:

Presents all wrapped up underneath the tree

They don't mean very much if you're not here with me

But I'll just keep on waiting and I'll hold you in my dreams

'Cause Christmas can bring magic if you just believe

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

The meaning of Christmas isn't packages and bows

It's being surrounded by those you love the most

Repeat Chorus
