It's chaos in the car seats
Heading south on 65
They're asking "Are we there yet?"
Every minute of the drive
To be together at Christmastime
The last flight out was canceled
'Cause of unexpected snow
She's sleeping in the terminal
With the whole world headed home
To be together at Christmastime
Oh, when you open up that door
To old familiar rooms of love and laughter
Coming home just the way you are
Knowing this is all that really matters
To be together at Christmastime
I'm singing out this song
'Til every lonely soul has heard
We're not alone 'cause love
Has put His arms around the world
To be together at Christmastime
So every time that lonely feeling
Comes around again
Listen love is knocking
Yeah, wanting to come in
To be together
To be together
Oh, when you open up that door
To old familiar rooms of love and laughter
Coming home just the way you are
Knowing this is all that really matters
To be together at Christmastime
Oh, when you open up that door
To old familiar rooms of love and laughter
Coming home just the way you are
Knowing this is all that really matters
To be together at Christmastime
To be together at Christmastime
Oh...
To be together
