Lyrics
Special Christmas
© 2005 Bruce Mills (ASCAP)
We're having a special Christmas
Down in the country this year
For the very first time -
From places far and near -
Everyone's coming back home!
The tide rises high
Like the moon in the sky -
And a silver road across the sea
Leads safely to the lighthouse on shore
Everyone's coming back home!
Chorus:
From the snowy mountain
To the valley and the bay
So many memories come tonight -
Oh - harbour light - shine bright -
Oh - church bells will ring -
As carols we sing
We'll remember all our yesterdays -
Come sit by the fire
And celebrate with cheer -
Everyone's going to be here
Instrumental break
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home - it's Christmastime
Everyone's coming - everyone's going to be here
Chorus:
In every window - a candle
In every heart - a happy song
In every eye - a tear of joy
You've been away so long [hold through transition]
We're having a Merry Christmas
Down in the country this year
No matter how far away you are -
Your heart will lead you home -
You'll find your way back home
