First Plane Home

If you'd said a year ago
This is how it would be
Talking down a telephone
Just like this

I'd have said "the hell you know?"
I wouldn't believe
I really thought we'd all be home
Come Christmas eve

But such is life
And so it is
And I thank God you're mine to miss

And when it hurts sometimes
And all you really wanna do is cry
Know I'm only one call away
And when you hang the lights
Promise me you'll leave 'em there to stay
When I'm home we'll do Christmas day

When we all come out and we're safe and sound
And we're back to how we were
I'll be on the first plane home
When we all come out and we're safe and sound
And we're back to how we were
I'll be on the first plane home

This will be the year we learned
How precious it is
Every breath we take from birth
Like this one

I'd trade in all I've ever earned
It ain't nothing to give
Just to feel a love returned
Like this one is

But such is life
And so it is
And I thank God you're mine to miss

And when it hurts sometimes
And all you really wanna do is cry
Know I'm only one call away
And when you hang the lights
Promise me you'll leave 'em there to stay
When I'm home we'll do Christmas day

When we all come out and we're safe and sound
And we're back to how we were
I'll be on the first plane home
When we all come out and we're safe and sound
And we're back to how we were
I'll be on the first plane home

I miss you so.
