Words & Music

The tinsel seems to dance, as I sit here all alone
And my mind goes in a trance, it's my first Christmas away from home
There ain't no cheer, around here
There ain't nothing but soldiers tears.
How I wish I could go home for Christmas day yeh,yeh, yeh!
The barracks is kind of blue, as i sit staring at our Christmas tree
And my mind is filled with gloom, pondering over sweet memories.
Feels like ten thousand miles away
it's gettin' farther each and everyday.
Oh, how I wish I could go home Christmas day yeh, yeh yeh
No santa claus and eight tiny reindeer
No snow ball fights, there ain't nothing here but lonely soldiers tears
No mom, no dad, no girl no happy songswe used to sing
It's such a different world, don't feel like doing much of anything
Feels like ten thousand miles away
it's gettin' farther each and everyday.
Oh, how I wish I could go home Christmas day yeh, yeh yeh
Oh, how I wish I could be home for Christmas day.
Jingle us all back home...
