This Is Christmas

Intro

Mm-mm, la-la, oh-oh (hey)

Sleigh-bell tap on the window, come on, come on

Verse

Wreath on the old oak door, red ribbon tied just so

Steam on the glass, little footprints in the snow

Grandma's record spins that same warm song we know

Cinnamon on the tongue, and the streetlamps glow

Pre-chorus

We pull our scarves a little higher (a little higher)

Laugh until the night gets brighter (oh-oh)

Hand in glove and the world feels right

Chorus

This is Christmas, come on home, come on home (come on home)

Bring your story, bring your coat, don't go it alone (don't go it alone)

Sing it loud from the rooftop, sing it soft by the stove

This is Christmas, come on home, come on home (yeah, yeah)

Verse

Kids on the corner with a paper star parade

Lanterns swinging, someone dropped the mason jar shade

Mistletoe mischief, shy smiles we couldn't trade

Old letters by the fire, memories softly played (mm)

Pre-chorus

Street smells like sugar and a midnight train (ooh)

Neighbors pass a pie and the laughter rains (ha)

Wrap your cold hands in mine, we'll keep them warm tonight

Chorus

This is Christmas, come on home, come on home (come on home)

Bring your story, bring your coat, don't go it alone (don't go it alone)

Sing it loud from the rooftop, sing it soft by the stove

This is Christmas, come on home, come on home (yeah, yeah)

Bridge

When the skyline hushes and the wind slows down (shh)

We light the little candles, one by one around the town (la la)

Whistle with the kettle, hum with the choir (mmm)

We keep a map of all the hearts that never tire (never tire)

Oh-oh, la-la, na-na (na-na)

Chorus

This is Christmas, come on home, come on home (come on home)

Bring your story, bring your coat, don't go it alone (don't go it alone)

Sing it loud from the rooftop, sing it soft by the stove

This is Christmas, come on home, come on home (come on home)

Chorus

This is Christmas, come on home, come on home (yeah, yeah)

Bring your story, bring your coat, don't go it alone (don't go it alone)

Sing it loud from the rooftop, sing it soft by the stove

This is Christmas, come on home, come on home (fade, fade)

Outro

Mm-mm, la-la, oh-oh (come on home)

Fade on the firelight, hum the melody—come on home
