Everybody is looking for something
For someone to lean on, to count on
If you feel like you've got no one
Remember that they'll be home for the holidays
They'll be home for the holidays
Little Sally J
Daddy's not around her, he's always on the road
She knows he got to work to put food on the table
He's doing everything he's able
But she's only a little girl
I wish she'd understand how to live in this world
So she's feeling all alone
Mama's always there, but she's always on the phone
But she knows when the snow starts to fall
He's coming right back around (home)
She can't wait for the sound
Of the car pulling in the driveway
And while she waits by the window
She sees the face that she's been waiting for so long
Everybody is looking for something
For someone to lean on, to count on
If you feel like you've got no one
Remember they'll be home for the holidays
they'll be home for the holidays
they'll be home for the holidays
He can't concentrate on what the teacher is writing on the board
Chris' got his mind steady waitin' on
His big brother across the water
At war he's gone
Hope he got the letter it said
"I'm getting too big now"
Eventhough he's not here today to wipe this tears away
He knows when the snow starts to fall
He's coming right back around (home)
And he can't wait for the sound
Of his car pulling in the driveway again
And while he waits by the window
He sees the face that he's been waiting for so long
Everybody is looking for something
For someone to lean on, to count on
If you feel like you've got no one
Remember they'll be home for the holidays
they'll be home for the holidays
they'll be home for the holidays
Close your eyes and imagine this family everywhere
People full of cheer
There's no better place to be than home
Everybody is looking for something
For someone to lean on, to count on
If you feel like you've got no one
Remember they'll be home for the holidays
They'll be home for the holidays
Fa la la la Fa la la
Fa la la la Fa la la
Fa la la la Fa la la
That I'll be home for the holidays
