Sailing Home for Christmas (feat. The Culdrose Military Wives Choir)

Overhead All the stars looking down on our house Cold and bright The curtains' closed but the chimney smoke says Come, it's warm inside All at once And the ache from each day I've been gone Seven months It fades to the past I'm here at last This Christmas has finally come The butterflies start A flicker in my heart I feel my chest start to glow I'm shaking as I ring the doorbell And see you stood waiting there in the hall I whisper, Merry Christmas Darling Been a really long wait I know I've missed this, all that I wished for Was coming back to see you after sailing home From inside And I'm hearing the voice of a child Calling out The footsteps come I hear you running, racing through the house The butterflies start A flicker in my heart I feel my chest start to glow I'm shaking as I kneel to greet you I just can't believe how much you've grown I whisper, Merry Christmas Darling Been a really long wait I know I've missed this, all that I wished for Was coming back to see you after sailing home So here it is then, Merry Christmas Darling And we're stepping in from the cold With this you've been making my wish come true here Underneath the mistletoe Sailing home, sailing home Sailing home, sailing home Sailing home, sailing home Sailing home, sailing home I whisper, Merry Christmas Darling Been a really long wait I know I've missed this, all that I wished for Was coming back to see you after sailing home So here it is then, Merry Christmas Darling And we're stepping in from the cold With this you've been making my wish come true here Underneath the mistletoe Come on let's live this, Merry Christmas Darling Leave our tears out here in the snow Just this, it's all that I wished for And now I'm back to see you after sailing home Sailing home
