When I think of snow,

I think

of (Csus)Christ mas.

When I think of you,

I think of (Dm7)home.

And (Am7)I know all

these miles

that come

be tween us

(G)for a while

will melt

a way.

If I could make this plane

go

(Csus)an y fast (C)er,

I’d be stand ing right

out side

your (Gsus)door.

(Am)I can close

my eyes

and see that

(C)sweet look

(G)of sur prise

there on

your face;

it’s worth

the wait.

(Gsus)Hang the (G)mis tle toe

by the (Am11)fire’s

glow,

put the (G)an gel on

the tree,

light a (Am11)can dle in

the win dow just

for (Dm11)me.

I’ll (G)bring you all

my heart

and soul,

my love,

my hugs

and (D)kiss

(C)es.

I’m

com ing (G)home,

I’m

com ing (Am7)home

(D6)for

(Am)Christ

(G)mas.

Ev ’ry where I go,

it makes

me (Csus)miss you,

’cause ev ’ry where I look,

it’s red

and (Gsus)green.

Ev ’ry (Am)bod y cel

e brat

the wait ing

slow down

the day.

I’m on

my way.

God, I’ve been miss ing (D7sus)you.

Hang the (G)mis tle toe
