If I Can't Be Home For Christmas

I may be over here in Iraq

Trying to settle a score,

But I am not the one

That started this here war.

If I can't be home for Christmas

Then I just wanted you to know,

I'll send all of my love home to you 

And wrap it with a bow.

I'll try my best to be there

To see the kids open their gifts,

And just maybe walk through the door

And give your heart a lift.

But just in case something happens

And I can't grant all of your wishes,

I'll send all of my love home to you

If I can't be home for Christmas.

Give the kids a hug for me

And let them know that they are missed,

I will send a card home just for them

Let them know, that it's been kissed.

I will send a special one home

That will be just for you my dear,

I want so much to be home for Christmas

Instead of being here.
