Don't know where the year has gone
Now that Christmas Eve has come
Girl, what a night
Barely made it back in town
Hope that I can holler 'round yours if you like

'Cause weather by flyer miles, a boat or a train

Ain't no sleet or snow, no wind, no rain
Gon' keep me from ya on Christmas, babe
Won't leave you alone, came all this way
Just to tell ya "Merry Christmas", babe

Gotta get you in my arms
It don't matter where you are
I'll be there just in time, babe
Could be hell or high water, on the final hour
On the twenty four, at eleven fifty nine

So, weather by flyer miles, a boat or a train
Yeah

Ain't no sleet or snow, no wind, no rain
Gone keep me from ya on Christmas, babe
Won't leave you alone, came all this way
Just to tell ya "Merry Christmas", babe

Ain't no valley low or flight delay
Ain't no flight delay gon' keep me from you
I'll be on the road, I'm on my way
On my
On my way

Some say I'm doing too much
Oh, I say they're out their mind
I'm showing up for the one I love
On Christmas, I ain't leaving you behind

Ooh ooh

... no wind, no rain
Keeping me away on Christmas, baby, yeah
Won't leave you alone, came all this way
Just to whisper in your ear, "Merry Christmas, babe"

Ain't no valley low or flight delay
Never gon', never gon' keep me from ya, on Christmas, babe
I'll be on the road, I'm on my way
Coming to you on Christmas, baby
Hey yeah

Hey, hey, girl. How are you doing?
Oh. I'm doing alright
How's your mama? She doing good?
That's good
Look: I—you know? I came back in town for the season. Ho-ho-ho. And you know I gotta see you in a minute
You got some sweet-potato pie?
You remembered that sweet-potato pie?
Oh, yeah
You put just the right amount sugar in that thing
It's gon' be a merry Christmas, baby, 'cause I might as well stay over the night
Merry Christmas, baby
