[Verse 1]
EHome is where beds are made and butter is added to Atoast
On a cEold afternoon you can float room to room like aA ghost
Take the Ecreche out and argue about who gets to set up the Akings
And I kEnow that it is home because that is where the stereo Asings
I have got Edreams, dreams toA remember
But nBot even hAome will be with you fEorever
[Verse 2]
IEt's Christmas time and the plane flies me over white Ahills
To a Etown in a dream where the sky, it is frozen and sAtill
And a rEoom that is not mine but it is just like I left it bAefore
With the wEax from the candles all dusty and locks on the Adoor
Where I Eheld you so tAenderly
And wBhere in summer I Aopened your letter to Eme
B Em D D C C/B
Now I am stEmanding wheDre we knee-led and a miracle Cmile now bordeC/Brs it
But if IEm turn my face to the field I do not even Cnotice C/Bit for a Asecond
[Verse 3]
There is aE tangle of greenery where winter scenery Aends
And I hEear that song sometimes and imagine us much more than fAriends
Like if we Estayed in this town, bought the first house that went up on Asale
And how eaEch Christmastime would bring in-laws and snow days and holiday mAail
Your dEad says you are living in Georgia since last SAeptember
Yeah well I have got dEreams, dreams to rAemember, I have got Edreams, dreams to rAemember
I have got dEreams, dreams to remAember, I have got dEreams, dreams to reAmember
Oh BSara, come back to New AHampshire we'll stay there Eforever
