August and september, Summertime is done, Days of sweet november Grow shorter one by one Autumn leaves are falling And wintertime is near. It's getting very close To that special time of year The snow will be the whitest Stars will shine the brightest, Bells will ring out merry and clear, When we all get home for christmas this year The kids will want the day off Trying hard to stay up Waiting for saint nick to appear When we all get home for christmas this year With mom and dad to meet us And dear old friends to greet us We will have the sweetest of holidays. And when it's time for parting We'll recall the fun we had And think of all the love that was here And we'll all get home for christmas next year Yes, we'll all get home for christmas next year. With mom and dad to meet us And dear old friends to greet us We will have the sweetest of holidays. And when it's time for parting, We'll recall the fun we had And think of all the love that was here Then we'll all come home for christmas next year, Yes, we'll all come home for christmas next year Next christmas! The snow will be the whitest Stars will be shine their brightest The kids will want they day off Trying hard to stay up Mom and dad will meet us Dear old friends to greet us At christmas At christmas
