Lyrics: 
I hope your kitchen's filled with baking
I hope your tree smells freshly cut
I hope sleds lay in a pile
Under the oak tree in the back
The side door sticks a little
When the temperature drops
Bring out some extra blankets
For my old room above the garage
 
Take a wander through the forest
You might see crawdads in the creek
Watch out for poison ivy
I once itched madly for a week
I haven't been back since
The day I left for college
I'm glad my younger self
Didn't have the knowledge
That Christmases were numbered there
 
That old house was filled with laughter
Piano-playin' and cheer
Porch lights and clear bright stars
Shined through my child-wonder years
I won't ever have another Christmas
In the house I hold so dear
I wish I could just go back home
Around this time of year
 
You don't know me or my story
But I know every crack and creak
Your floorboards hold the story
Of the family who loved me
That family's gone for good
But your house remains the same
In the gardens and the walls
I'll bet the love we had remains
 
That old house was filled with laughter
Piano-playin' and cheer
Porch lights and clear bright stars
Shined through my child-wonder years
I won't ever have another Christmas
In the house I hold so dear
I wish I could just go back home
Around this time of year
