Christmas Takes Me Back Home

[Verse 1]

Thinking back when I was three My grandpa would be lifting me

To put the angel on the tree I never wanted to come down

Then when I was nine or ten

Nana saved the day again

Baking in her red apron

And she'd spin me round and round

And everything was magical

With your hand in mine I never felt alone

[Chorus]

Christmas always reminds me Of what made me and defines me Cause Christmas always takes me back home

[Verse 2]

Fourteen was an awkward age

But they smiled as I turned the page I was always dreaming of the stage Singing carols in the back of your car When my heart broke at twenty-four

They were waiting for me at the door And showed me family was more Than pictures on a holiday card

Like a flower growing through the snow I knew that I would never be alone

[Chorus]

Christmas always reminds me Of what made me and defines me

Cause Christmas always takes me back home, back home, back home

Christmas always takes me back home

[Verse 3]

Now my boy is almost tall as me

Daddy helps him put the angel on the tree

We're there for him like you were there for me

[Chorus]

Cause Christmas always reminds me Of what made me and defines me

'Cause Christmas always takes me back home
