Strike a match, let it glow
And watch the candles all sparkling in my window
Like the stars, I recall
Where I grew up, in awe of it all
That mistletoe, we hung down from the ceiling
I get goosebumps thinking of the times
I get a childlike feeling, cause
There's no Christmas like Christmas at home
Wherever it is that I roam
I want Christmas like Christmas at home
And if I can't get home
I'm making my own sweet Christmas
A Christmas like Christmas at home
Take a stroll down the isles
I'm doing it right, gonna do it in style
Buy a bird, and a tree
I'm building a snowman just for me
With charcoal eyes
Leave an apple outside for Rudolf
I get goosebumps thinking of the times
I get a childlike feeling, cause
There's no Christmas like Christmas at home
Wherever it is that I roam
I want Christmas like Christmas at home
And if I can't get home
I'm making my own sweet Christmas
A Christmas like Christmas at home
Santa's in his swimming shorts and shades
The elves run round with tubs and spades
But nothing here competes
With good old foggy streets
I want Christmas like Christmas at home
I want Christmas like Christmas at home
I want Christmas like Christmas at home
A Christmas like Christmas at home
