HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS AGAIN — “Friday Fling”
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS AGAIN
Every year right around this time
I return to that place
so often hidden away,
that place where magic happens
in sometimes surprising ways;
that place where I find harmony
and sweet connections;
where I find no strings
or hidden agendas.
I return to that place,
as alive now as then.
It’s HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
for me once again.
I return to that place
of poignant tears
and laughter and smiles,
that place of joy
where holiday magic lives,
good will toward men,
peace and joy within hearts
as I head HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS,
spending time around the tree
with those I cherish
not just on Christmas
or the holidays,
but on each
and every day.
So I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS,
as I am each and every year,
a child of the dawn
with stars in her eyes
on Christmas morn;
who sings with the shepherds
and the angels gathered there
joins in with THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
as he plays upon his drum.
And as we gather around
the tree again this year,
we remember once more
what Christmas is all about,
and wish JOY TO THE WORLD
and pray for peace everywhere
as we hear once more
the BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
