Candlelight and mistletoe, every year the visit home
Passes by so quickly and too soon it’s time to go
Fold the velvet carefully, take the lights down from the tree
Wrap up every ornament and pack the old nativity
Every year we journey here and see the friends we used to know
Funny how we move away and suddenly believe we’re grown
Candlelight and mistletoe, lights on houses down the road,
Coming down like christmas trees and pretty cards hung in a row
Everytime the family’s more distant than they used to be
In miles, but every heart is warm amongst the snowy scenery
Candlelight and mistletoe, kisses in a warming glow
Spirit makes this great old house a home
With holly boughs, and candy houses, Tinsel flashes, clinking glasses
Laughing, singing songs that we all know
I realize it every time I go... There’s no place else like home
