If I get home on Christmas day
  I won't need soft words to say
  I'll miss you and I can stay a while
  You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile
    If I get home before midnight
  While you're still sleeping tight
  I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay
  If I get home on Christmas day
    Writing letters everyday
  Never really seem to say
  The way I feel deep in this heart of mine
  Thought I'm half a world away
  If we're patient and we pray
  Know I'll get my chance with you this time
    If I get home on Christmas day
  I won't need soft words to say
  I'll miss you and I can stay a while
  You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile
    If I get home before midnight
  While you're still sleeping tight
  I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay
  If I get home on Christmas day
  I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay
  If I get home on Christmas day
