Name: Good To Be Home
Duration: P00H03M52S
Description: This year more than maybe any other, we are all longing for something normal, familiar, something that feels like home. With the familiar bustle of holiday travel seeming more and more impossible, this song draws on the memories of Holiday seasons past to call back to mind the feeling of reuniting with the ones you love most, feeling, if only for a moment, home.

This year more than maybe any other, we are all longing for something normal, familiar, something that feels like home. With the familiar bustle of holiday travel seeming more and more impossible, this song draws on the memories of Holiday seasons past to call back to mind the feeling of reuniting with the ones you love most, feeling, if only for a moment, home.

lyrics

Long summer days faded away
And now it’s September

This time of year loves to race by
I never remember

Now it gets dark at five
I better book my flight
Cause I’m headed home

I’d rather spend Christmas together
Than birthdays or Fourth of July

So light up the tree
Play the old songs
Just for a day it’s ok, nothing’s wrong
Let’s go outside
Walk in the snow
It’s good to be home
With you

You’re on my mind
Most of the time
We’re not together

Now that I’m here
I wish that I
Could stay here forever

But wether you’re near or far
I want to be where you are
If that’s alright
