Home for Christmas Eve

I left the desert
A distant land
With ticket hope held in my hand
Through crowded halls
The planes and gates
I prayed that I would not be late
And when the wheels touched down, I knew
That Christmas joy was breaking through

Home for Christmas Eve at last
The waiting's over
The miles are past
The radio played
The lights so bright
Nothing feels like home tonight

Nothing feels like home tonight

I ran with bags through winter air
A racing heart
The streets were bare
The car was cold
But music played
And every mama feels allayed
The voice was singing
Soft and clear
Driving home for Christmas in my ear

Home for Christmas Eve at last
The waiting's over
The miles are past
The radio played
The lights so bright
Nothing feels like home tonight

And in her arms the world was new
The love I missed came shining through
The season's gift
The sweetest part
Is finding home within the heart

Nothing feels like home tonight

Home for Christmas Eve at last
The waiting's over
The miles are past
The stars above
The firelight
Nothing feels like home tonight
