When I Get Home It's Christmas
Ten hour drive through the blazing sun
Hotter than Hades before we've begun
My sisters and I all singing in rounds
Mum pointing out the shapes in the clouds
We finally arrive and we all race
Into our Grandmother's loving embrace
Soft glow from her verandah light
Guiding us home through the long dark night
Barely awake but we're full of cheer
Been a long wait but we're finally here
She makes it feel like Christmas any time of year
Tucked in tight and when we awake
House smells of all the goodness she bakes
Stockings piled high full of homemade toys
House full of laughter, carols and noise
We eat like kings and after lunch
Dad falls asleep on the couch with his punch
My cousin and I, together we sneak
Down to catch tadpoles and play by the creek
Wearing our fairy wings lovingly made
Eating the treats from the tin that we raid
They make it feel like Christmas any time of year
Years fly by us girls are all grown
My sisters got married, kids of their own
I'm still over here singing my song
Hard to believe that our Grandmother's gone
You're all there and I'm still here
Always hurts the most this time of year
Though we don't talk as much as I'd like
I'm holding you here in my heart alright
Sitting by the pool, under the sun
Watching kids splashing, having fun
When I get home it's Christmas any time of year
Yeah you're all there and I'm still here
It's still a really happy time of year
When I get home it'll feel like Christmas, anytime
When I get home it feels like Christmas, anytime
When I get home it's Christmas, Christmas, Christmas any time of year
It's Christmas any time of year
When I get home it'll feel like Christmas, anytime of year
Hotter than Hades before we've begun
My sisters and I all singing in rounds
Mum pointing out the shapes in the clouds
We finally arrive and we all race
Into our Grandmother's loving embrace
Soft glow from her verandah light
Guiding us home through the long dark night
Barely awake but we're full of cheer
Been a long wait but we're finally here
She makes it feel like Christmas any time of year
Tucked in tight and when we awake
House smells of all the goodness she bakes
Stockings piled high full of homemade toys
House full of laughter, carols and noise
We eat like kings and after lunch
Dad falls asleep on the couch with his punch
My cousin and I, together we sneak
Down to catch tadpoles and play by the creek
Wearing our fairy wings lovingly made
Eating the treats from the tin that we raid
They make it feel like Christmas any time of year
Years fly by us girls are all grown
My sisters got married, kids of their own
I'm still over here singing my song
Hard to believe that our Grandmother's gone
You're all there and I'm still here
Always hurts the most this time of year
Though we don't talk as much as I'd like
I'm holding you here in my heart alright
Sitting by the pool, under the sun
Watching kids splashing, having fun
When I get home it's Christmas any time of year
Yeah you're all there and I'm still here
It's still a really happy time of year
When I get home it'll feel like Christmas, anytime
When I get home it feels like Christmas, anytime
When I get home it's Christmas, Christmas, Christmas any time of year
It's Christmas any time of year
When I get home it'll feel like Christmas, anytime of year
