“Home for the Holidays Tonight”

(Verse 1)
There’s lights on the farmhouse, snow on the ground
The smell of pine and cinnamon drifting all around
Mama’s in the kitchen, Daddy’s by the fire
The whole family’s coming, just like we all desire

Trucks are pulling in the driveway, one by one
Neighbors, friends, and coworkers, everyone
Laughter fills the evening, stories old and new
There ain’t no place I’d rather be than here with you

(Chorus)
We’re home for the holidays tonight
Hearts are full and the future’s bright
Raise a glass to the love we share
Thank the Lord above for answered prayers
With family, friends, and those we hold so tight
We’re blessed beyond measure
We’re home for the holidays tonight

(Verse 2)
Kids are in the front yard making angels in the snow
Grandpa’s telling tales from long ago
Coffee’s always brewing, there’s pie on every shelf
The greatest gift of all is being with each other

From the folks I work with to the ones I love the most
This season brings us all together, coast to coast
No matter where we’ve wandered, no matter how far we roam
Christmas always calls us back home

(Chorus)
We’re home for the holidays tonight
Hearts are full and the future’s bright
Raise a glass to the love we share
Thank the Lord above for answered prayers
With family, friends, and those we hold so tight
We’re blessed beyond measure
We’re home for the holidays tonight

(Bridge)
So let the carols ring out clear
This is why we’re all here
To celebrate the season
To hold each other near
Love’s the greatest reason
For this time of year!

(Final Chorus)
We’re home for the holidays tonight
Hearts are full and the future’s bright
Raise a glass to the love we share
Thank the Lord above for answered prayers
With family, friends, and those we hold so tight
We’re blessed beyond measure
Oh, we’re blessed beyond measure
We’re home for the holidays tonight

(Outro)
Yeah, we’re home for the holidays tonight…
Home for the holidays tonight
