OUT IN THE CALIFORNIA SUN
IT FEELS LIKE THE SUMMER'S JUST BEGUN
BUT I WANNA BE BACK HOME WITH YOU WHERE I BELONG
THE WEATHER IS KEEPING US APART

IT'S WARM BUT IT'S COLD HERE IN MY HEART

I'M PRAYING THE SNOW SUBSIDES TO SEE MY SPECIAL ONE


JUST ONE DAY TO CHRISTMAS AND THERE'S NO LET UP IN SIGHT

AS ALL HOPE IS WANING
I DROP DOWN TO MY KNEES
ASKING ANGELS TO PLEASE HEAR MY PLIGHT


LONG DISTANCE CHRISTMAS STANDS BETWEEN US

TAKE ME WHERE THE SNOWFLAKES ARE BUSY FALLING

I'D GIFTWRAP THE WORLD TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING NEXT TO YOU BABE
COZ IT'S TRUE BABE

NOTHING ELSE COULD FILL UP THIS VOID I'M FEELIN'

I WISH OLD SANTA'S SLEIGH COULD FLY ME RIGHT AWAY BACK TO YOU

I SIT AT THE AIRPORT COURTING DOUBT
JUST ME AND A STARBUCKS HOLDING OUT
THE SUN SHINING THROUGH THE WINDOWS HIDES THE PAINFUL TRUTH

THE THOUGHT OF US CELEBRATING THROUGH A LAPTOP SCREEN
WHEN I COULD BE HOME WITH YOU
CURLED UP BY THE FIRE
WHILE A HEAVENLY CHOIR SETS THE SCENE

Repeat Chorus

THEN AS THE LIGHT BEGINS TO FADE
A SUDDEN ANNOUNCEMENT IS RELAYED
IT'S SAYIN' THAT IT'S ALL SYSTEMS GO
WATCHA KNOW
SEEMS THE ANGELS HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS

LONG DISTANCE CHRISTMAS WON'T STAND BETWEEN US
I'M HEADING WHERE THE SNOWFLAKES ARE BUSY FALLING
JUST HOURS TO GO TILL I WAKE IN THE MORNING NEXT TO YOU BABE
COZ IT'S TRUE BABE
NOTHING ELSE COULD REPLACE THE LOVE I'M FEELIN'
DON'T NEED OLD SANTA'S SLEIGH NOW I'M FLYIN' MY WAY BACK TO YOU

RING OUT THE BELLS IT'S TIME
I'M COMIN' HOME
IT DON'T MATTER 'BOUT THE WEATHER
JUST AS LONG AS WE'RE TOGETHER BABY
RING OUT THE BELLS IT'S TIME
IT DON'E MATTER 'BOUT THE WEATHER
JUST AS LONG AS I'M TOGETHER WITH YOU
