Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back in New York there is frost on the ground
I can feel it Christmas is coming
So much snow is falling all around
In Chicagao the wind is blowing
Honolulu waves is washing ashore
In Miami the temperature is climbing
But in Boston its starting to pour
I'll be coming home for Christmas day
Doesn't matter any kind of weather
You know that I'll always find a way
And we'll be celebrating all the good things we share
Everybody knows who will be there
I going to be there to
Yeah I promise one way or another
I going to get back home to you
Down in Mississippi the weather is rising
In Minnesota the kids are staying inside
Ooh, Chilly noses pressed up to the window
Getting ready for Christmas time
'cause whatever the change in weather
Santa he's still got places to go
He's tuning up all the Jing Jing Jingling sleigh bells
And rehearsing jolly Ho Ho Ho's
Oh Don't you know that one way or another
I'll be coming home for Christmas day
Doesn't matter any kind of weather
You know that I'll always find a way
And we'll be celebrating all the good things we share
Everybody knows who will be there
I going to be there to
Yeah I promise one way or another
I going to get back home to you
I'm coming home for Christmas
Candy canes and mistle toes
I'm going to find a way
SO I can get back
Oh Don't you know that one way or another
I'll be coming home for Christmas day
Doesn't matter any kind of weather
You know that I'll always find a way
And we'll be celebrating all the good things we share
Everybody knows who will be be there
I going to be there to
Yeah I promise one way or another
I going to get back home to you
Oh Don't you know that one way or another
I'll be coming home for Christmas day
Doesn't matter any kind of weather
You know that I'll always find a way
And we'll be celebrating all the good things we share
Everybody knows how we will be there
I going to be there to
