Red, White and Blue Christmas

Man:
There ain't no snow here in the desert
No jingle bells or Santa on his sleigh
No Christmas tree and no Christmas dinner
'Cause I'm stationed here, half a world away

John got a Christmas card from his momma
Stacy got a package from her man
But the only thing I really want for Christmas
Is to hold you in my arms once again

And it's a lonely red, white and blue Christmas
And there's one thing I finally understand
The only way I'm going home for Christmas this year
Is if there's peace on earth and goodwill toward man

Woman:
Well it's been 6 months since he left out
He's serving the country that he loves
There have been times that I just feel so selfish
So I'm praying for strength from up above

Little James has been asking, "When's daddy comin' home?"
And Jamie sometimes cries herself to sleep
Our bed is so empty, since my baby's not with me
It won't be a jolly Christmas Eve

And it's a lonely red, white and blue Christmas
I miss you, but you know I understand
You're far away from me right now so maybe next year
We'll have some peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

Both:
It's a lonely red, white and blue Christmas
When the one you love's a half a world away
If I could only have one gift for Christmas this year
I'd wake up to your sweet face Christmas day
