Dolly Parton – Comin’ Home for Christmas Lyrics

Comin’ Home for Christmas Lyrics By Dolly Parton

[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh
Mmm, hmmm

[Verse 1]
Mama’s in the kitchen, Christmas on the stove
Daddy’s in the wood shed with axe and overcoat
Everybody’s helpin’ to place and trim the tree
The picture’s almost perfect, it’s only missin’ me

[Chorus]
But I’m comin’ home for Christmas
Save a place for me
I’ll arrive before St. Nicholas
Places gifts beneath the tree
Leave a candle burnin’
And a key underneath the mat
I’m comin’ home for Christmas
You can count on that
[Post-Chorus]
(Let it snow)
Oh-oh
(Let it snow)

[Verse 2]
Snow is gently fallin’ as I make my way toward home
I hear sweet memories callin’; I’ve been a long time gone
Nothin’ like the family and friends to celebrate
The fun, the food, the music of this special holiday

[Chorus]
Oh, but I’m comin’ home for Christmas
Save a place for me
I’ll arrive before St. Nicholas
Places gifts beneath the tree
So leave the candle burnin’
Leave a key underneath the mat
I’m comin’ home for Christmas
We can all depend on that

[Bridge]
Hang holly in the window (In the window)
Hang tinsel on the tree (On the tree)
Hang mistletoe above the door
And hang your hopes on me

[Chorus]
I’m comin’ home for Christmas
No place I’d rather be
I’m comin’ home for Christmas
(Comin’ home for Christmas)
You can count on me
I’m comin’ home for Christmas
You can count on me

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I’m comin’ home
I’m comin’ home
Mmm-mmm-mmm
