Changes: Home for the Holidays (song)

Revision as of 05:18, 21 September 2012

"(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays" is a Christmas song written by Al Stillman and Robert Allen. It was a hit for Perry Como in 1954, but has also been recorded by numerous other artists. The upbeat song intersperses a chorus about the importance of being at home for holidays, with a quirky verse about people traveling across the US to get home.

Lyrics

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays

'Cause no matter how far away you roam

When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze

For the holidays you can't be home sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee and he was headin' for

Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie

From Pennsylvania folks are travelin' down to Dixie's sunny shores

From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays

'Cause no matter how far away you roam

If you want to be happy in a million ways

For the holidays you can't be home sweet home
