Home for Christmas When the Snow Comes Down (Extended 2)

Intro

Snowflakes are falling down onto Main Street

Carolers singing soft beneath my old front porch light

Footprints in the powder, leading me back home

Thinking of the warmth I’ll find again tonight

Verse 1

Crimson ribbons tied on every evergreen

Children’s laughter floating through a silver scene

All the hopes I’ve carried now are drawing near

Counting every mile till I am finally here

Chorus

I'm hoping I'll be home for Christmas

When the snow comes down all around

I'll hurry back to your open arms

In our little Christmas town

Post-Chorus

Doo-wop, doo-wop, I'll be home soon

Oh oh, jingle bells ringin' that tune

Verse 2

Ice on the windows, streetlights glowin' bright

Suitcase in my hand, I run through the night

Every step I take, I feel your love surround

Dreamin' of home in our Christmas town

Pre-Chorus

The radio’s playing that sweet old sound

I can almost hear your voice right now

Chorus

I'm hoping I'll be home for Christmas

When the snow comes down all around

I'll hurry back to your open arms

In our little Christmas town

Post-Chorus

Doo-wop, doo-wop, I'll be home soon

Oh oh, jingle bells ringin' that tune

Bridge

Miles may keep me far, but my heart won’t roam

Pictures of you, tinsel on the telephone

Promise I’m near, though the train rolls on

Counting down the hours till I’m where I belong

Verse 3

Candles in the window, laughter fills the air

I see your smile in every frosty square

Soon I’ll walk right up that snowy lane

Hold you close and never leave again

Chorus

I’m hoping I’ll be home for Christmas

When the snow comes down all around

I’ll hurry back to your open arms

In our little Christmas town

Post-Chorus

Doo-wop, doo-wop, home with you soon

Oh oh, jingle bells ringin’ our tune

Outro

Steppin' through the doorway, I see your shining eyes

Garland on the mantle, joy that never lies

Snow falls soft upon the world outside

But I’ve got you here, right by my side

Post-Chorus

Doo-wop, doo-wop, Christmas is here

Oh oh, feelin' that holiday cheer

Doo-wop, doo-wop, together at last

Oh oh, Christmas time’s come so fast
