By Christmas Eve Songtext
von John Legend

I′m a thousand miles away
It's not snowing in LA
But I′m phonin' just to say
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

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


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

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


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

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

Oh, 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
