Late night redeyed Christmas Eve

late night, red-eyed christmas eve
snowflakes, delays, hope we can leave
they’re plowing the runway
de-icing the plane
time zones, rough roads, feeling the grind
sore throat, hundred shows, time to unwind
oh, i know it’s been a crazy season
but i just can’t wait to see ya


i’m coming home for christmas day
sorry that i’ve been so far away
but there is no time or distance
that can come in between us


late night, fireside, just you and me
old-time, black and white on the tv
we’re sharing a blanket
kiddos are upstairs playing
frontyard frosted, covered in snow
thankful for the love in this home
oh, i know it’s been a crazy season
but i just can’t wait to see ya


i’m coming home for christmas day
sorry that i’ve been so far away
but there is no time or distance
that can come in between us
i’m coming home for christmas day
i know that i’ll be just a little late
i’m sorry that you had to wait
but, baby, i’m on my way
to make it home for christmas day


nothing will ever change
the reason, the reason we celebrate
no, nothing, nothing will ever change
the reason, the reason we celebrate
