Johnston Richard - Christmas Like No Other

For New Year I'll Be Home

Hear the song of a solider boy
Who's sailing for home today
There are only few days left
For the New Year's day
On Christmas day I was far away
In my trenches damp and wet
But for New Year's day
Surely without fail
I'll be home for New year's day

So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home

Ever since my childhood
I was home for new years day
Never once did I ever miss
My home on that special day
Even though I am faraway
Love will would find a way
Got a letter in my pocket
To tell I'll be there right away
So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home

For in there I'll find my mother
And there I'll find my rest
My brother and my sister
My friends so very dear
There I'll find my sweetheart
And In her arms I'll lie
And tell here looking in her eyes
I'm so glad I'm home today

So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home

Now don't you think that we're too rich
We are simple country folks
In my house there ain't much of which
I could be proud about
But on our humble cottage roof
God's lovin' hand did rest
To shower peace the joy of brotherhood
And the treasure of happiness

So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home

But if I die before I arrive
And if I close my eyes
Don't you cry or be dismayed
I'll be in paradise
I will fly like a bird in the sky
Write my name in the sky
A solider lives forever
In a home beyond the skies

So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home
So for New Year I'll Be home

For in there I'll find my father
And there I'll find my rest
There I'll find a thousand brothers and sisters
Singing welcome
There I'll find father Abraham
And on his bosom, I'll lie
I'll tell him looking in his eyes
I'm so glad I'm home today

Oh for New Year I am home
Oh for New Year I am home
Oh for New Year I am home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

Hear the song of a solider boy
Who's sailing for home today
