The lights are shining, but I feel alone
Another Christmas, still far from home
The snow is falling, the world's aglow
But my heart's in a place I can't go
I think of the laughter, the warmth of the fire
The songs we'd sing and the joy we'd desire
But this year, I'm here on my own
With memories of home, where love has grown
Oh, Christmas, away from home
The night's all cold, the sky's unknown
I hold you in my heart, though we're apart
Your love's the light that keeps me from the dark
Oh, Christmas, away from home
Oh, Christmas, away from home
I'm counting the days till I can call
Until then, I'll send my love
And pray the stars shine bright above
I see the children, their faces so bright
Sharing their joy on this silent night
Though I smile, I can't help but feel
The ache of distance, so hard to heal
I dream of your voice, I dream of your face
Wishing I could be in your embrace
But for now, I'll hold on tight
To the love that keeps me from the dark
It keeps me warm tonight
Oh, Christmas, away from home
The night's all cold, the sky's unknown
I hold you in my heart, though we're apart
Your love's the light that keeps me from the dark
Oh, Christmas, away from home
I'm counting the days till I can call
Until then I'll send my love
And pray the stars shine bright above
The world may be far
But love knows no space
I carry warmth in this lonely place
And though we can't be
Together we'll find
The spirit of Christmas forever intertwined
Oh, Christmas away from home
The nights are cold, the skies are numb
I hold you in my heart, blowing upon your love's delight
And pray the stars shine bright above
And kiss me from the dark
