the snow outside is holding on tonight
oh my what a beautiful sight
as we're headed home
mom's cider waiting on the stove

i can hear them now, sisters waltzing around
hey brother come on down
from your hiding place
been a while, good to see your face

dad still wants to dress up as santa claus
even if we've all grown up it's just because, it's just because

won't you find your way back home
it's been too long, it's been too long
mom is looking out the window
so come on in and gather around

another year has passed, are we still the same
smoke will rise from the fireplace and slowly drift away
so stay....

winter's eve walking on old streets
new faces come to greet
everyone's moved on
the blue house on the hill is gone

falling there in your lazy chair
old leather fills the air
as the TV sings
couple seconds and you're fast asleep

dad still wants to dress up as santa claus
even if we've all grown up it's just because, it's just because

won't you find your way back home
it's been too long, it's been too long
mom is looking out the window
so come on in and gather around

another year has passed, are we still the same
smoke will rise from the fireplace and slowly drift away
so stay....
