Topic: Christmas: Home is where my heart is

Had some time today and reflected a bit about Christmas and about those people who can't be with someone they love.

Christmas: Home is where my heart is By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.




[D]I love the Christmas season, and the ex[A]citement of it all


I'm re [G] minded of what I’m thankful for, and the [D] friends I need to call


[G]Christmas is the season that we [D]share with family


and de[A]spite all the madness,it's still [G]wonderful to [D]me.


.




Verse 2


.




[D]Christmas doesn’t need all those [A]fancy store bought things


The real [G]gift of the season, is the [D] love that Christmas brings


full of [G] many precious memories and [D]stories told just right


but you're [A]on my mind and in my heart, and I'm [G] missing you to [D]night


.




Chorus


.


[G]It’s a chance to be thankful for the[D] blessings we receive


It re[G]minds us of the reasons, that [D]help us to believe


so I’m [G]wishing you a Christmas, filled with[D] memories and love.



O-Oh[A]Home is where my heart is, you’re the [G]one I’m thinking [D] of




.




Verse 3


.




[D]On Christmas, lovely Christmas, may all your [A] dreams come true


may you [G] find joy and laughter, it’s what I[D] wish and pray for you


but what[G] I want the most this Christmas, isn't [D] underneath the tree


it's the [A]magic of Christmas, that can [G] bring you home to [D] me.




Chorus


.


[G]It’s a chance to be thankful for the[D] blessings we receive


It re[G]minds us of the reasons, that [D]help us to believe


so I’m [G]wishing you a Christmas, filled with[D] memories and love.


O-Oh[A]Home is where my heart is, you’re the [G]one I’m thinking [D] of


.


[A]Home is where my heart is, you’re the [G]one I’m thinking [D] of


yeah, [A]Home is where my heart is, you’re the [G]one I’m thinking [D] of

Re: Christmas: Home is where my heart is

Thanks Jan

I think it's a real pretty Christmas song. I would like someone that can actually play and sing to give it a go.

Merry Christmas
Thank you for your kind words !

Re: Christmas: Home is where my heart is

If you look at it again.. i made changes to lyrics ( I just can't help myself) smile
and changed it to the Key D - easier to play and fits my vocal a little better.
Thanks for giving it a look.
