"By Christmas Eve" lyrics - JOHN LEGEND

I'm a thousand miles away, it's not snowing in LA
But I'm falling just the same, I'm sorry
All the flights have been delayed, I've got nowhere to stay
But if I can find my way, I'll hurry

[Pre-Chorus:]
Just hang up the Christmas lights, and I'll do the rest tonight
Just tell the kids I'm coming, I swear that I'll be running
And under the Christmas tree, together, yeah, we will be
I promise

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve

And I know it's all on you, keep it together like you're glue
And everything you do, I notice
So I'll bring presents, I'll bring wine
The mistletoe for you and I
And I'll be there just in time to show it

[Pre-Chorus:]
Just hang up the Christmas lights, and I'll do the rest tonight
And tell the kids I'm coming, I swear that I'll be running
Under the Christmas tree, together, yeah, we will be
I promise

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve

[Bridge:]
Whoa, I'll find my way back to California
I'll follow the map, yeah, somewhere warmer
I'll carry my bags just until I can hold you again

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve
