count the days lyrics

I would write a thousand letters
Just to talk to you
I would climb a hundred mountains
Just to be with you

I would make it snow in summer
If it meant you'd stay
Turn back time when we're together
Make it Christmas day

Look at the stars twinkling bright in the dark
Like the snow in the cold winter sun
Here by the fire the sound of your voice warms my heart
But it don't feel like Christmas without you in my arms

All over town people running around
They got stars in their eyes
Hurrying home to be close to the one
That they love, yeah

Light on the tree, shining shadows on me
As I wait by the fire
Presents and dreams but for me
You'd be enough

I'll be waiting by the phone
(I'll be waiting)
Till my baby's coming home
(I'll be waiting for you)
I'll be praying every night
(I'll be praying)
You'll be back soon by my side

I'll be waiting by the phone
(I'll be waiting)
Till my baby's coming home
(I'll be waiting for you)
I'll be praying every night
(I'll be praying)
You'll be back soon by my side

Count the days, count the days I've been so lonely
Come home baby, it ain't Christmas till you're here with me
Count the days, count the days, till this wait is through
Come home, babe, Christmas just ain't the same without you

When I think my world could fall apart
And I'm damn near broken in my heart
And my world is falling down
In my mind I will keep you safe from harm
Till you're lying in my arms
Until then I'll wait somehow

I'll be waiting by the phone
(I'll be waiting)
Till my baby's coming home
(I'll be waiting for you)
I'll be praying every night
(I'll be praying)
You'll be back soon by my side

I'll be waiting by the phone
(I'll be waiting)
Till my baby's coming home
(I'll be waiting for you)
I'll be praying every night
(I'll be praying)
You'll be back soon by my side

I'll be waiting by the phone
(I'll be waiting)
Till my baby's coming home
(I'll be waiting for you)
I'll be praying every night
(I'll be praying)
You'll be back soon by my side

I'll be waiting by the phone
(I'll be waiting)
Till my baby's coming home
(I'll be waiting for you)
I'll be praying every night
(I'll be praying)
You'll be back soon by my side
