about

“Home is the nicest word there is,” wrote Laura Ingalls Wilder. This song was inspired by the familiar catchphrase from my favorite childhood holiday movie, "The Wizard of Oz." I am home when I’m with those I love, wherever that may be.

lyrics

LYRICS

I’ve been away so long
and the holidays are never like they were at home
There are people all around me yet I’m all alone
There are artificial Christmas trees and artificial snow
and plastic kisses under plastic mistletoe
I’m longing to be back with the people that I know

There’s no place like home, no place like home for Christmas
There’s no place like home, no place I’d rather be
It may not be a mansion, but I don’t care
I know, no matter what, I’ll be welcome there
In this wide, wide world, of all the places I’ve ever been
There’s no place like home, and this Christmas I’ll be home again.

There’s no place like home, no place like home for Christmas
There’s no place like home, no place I’d rather be
It may not be a palace, but I don’t care
It’s the grandest place on earth, ‘cause love lives there
In this wide, wide world, of all the places I’ve ever been
There’s no place like home, and this Christmas I’ll be home again
I’ll be home again
I’ll be home
I’ll be home for Christmas
