From the recording SOMETHING SPECIAL
Driving home to you 20 miles to midnight on Christmas Eve!
Lyrics
SOON
20 miles to midnight, the snow is gently falling.
I dream you’re at the doorway. I dream I hear you calling.
Nothing on this road is gonna’ stop this car from hauling,
Me, the man who loves you, the man who keeps on falling.
Soon, I will hold you. Soon, I will kiss you.
Soon, I’ll be coming home to you.
While they wipe away the snowflakes, the windshield wipers whisper,
I crack my window just enough. I feel the air get crisper.
Only half an hour away, each minute brings you nearer.
Clouds are finally drifting off. The Moon is shining clear - er.
Soon, I will hold you. Soon, I will kiss you.
Soon, I’ll be coming home to you.
(Bridge)
Don’t need a star to guide me. Won’t lose my way tonight.
‘Cause I’ve got your smile in my sights.
The timer for the Christmas candles lighting up your windows, keeps ticking off the seconds, for a moment you just listen.
I close my eyes. I climb the stairs that lead me to your doorway.
The lilac in your lotion still lingers in the hall - way.
Now, I can hold you. Now, I can kiss you.
Now, I am coming home to you.
Now, I will hold you close to me,
I am finally home with you.
A couple hours past midnight; the snow is gently falling.
