Beside you on Christmas Day

If I could have just one wish
on any given day
I wish that I could be at home
beside you on Christmas Day
if I could have just one wish
on any given day
I wish that I could be at home
beside you on Christmas Day
Whether it's cross the rocky shore of Nova Scotia
and the shield in Ontario
or the lowlands and plains
of Saskatchewan
or the Rocky Mountains that you go
I have been everywhere in this great land
and seen much more than any other man
and if I could have just one wish
on any given day
I wish that I could be at home
beside you on Christmas Day
my hands are cold and as they reach out
for the door and the comfort of home
I realize that I always manage
to find my way here no matter how far I roam
from the rock of Newfoundland
and the coast of Labrador
through the North West Territories
and to the BC coast once more
I have been everywhere in this great land
yes I seen much more than any other man
but if I could have just one wish
on any given day
I wish that I could be at home
beside you on Christmas Day
if I could have just one wish
on any given day
I wish that I could be at home
beside you on Christmas Day
yes a thousand miles I've travelled
I've come such a long way
and it's memories of you and me
at Christmas time
that fuel me every day
so if I could have just one wish
on any given day
I wish that I could be at home
beside you on Christmas Day
yes if I could have just one wish
on any given day
I wish that I could be at home
beside you on Christmas Day
