This   day_ a year ago__ he was_   rolling in_ the snow_
With a   younger__   brother__   in his__ father's   yard_
  Christmas break_ a time_ for touching home  __
The heart_ of all_ he'd   known__ and leaving__ was_ so_   hard_  ___  
 
 
Three   thou_-sand miles_ away__ now he's__   working_ Christmas Day__
Making   double time  _ for the   min__-ding of the   store__
Well he'd   al_-ways said_ he'd make_ it on his   own__
He's spending Christ_-mas Eve_ a_-  lone__
First_   Christmas__ a  way_-ay-ay-ay_ from   home__  
 
 
She's  _ standing by_ the train__ station_   pan_-handling_ for change_
Four   more dollars__   buys__   a decent meal_ and   a room_
  Looks like_ the Sal_-ly Ann place_ after   all_
In a crowded sleeping hall  __    that echoes_ like a   tomb__
 
 
But it's   warm_ and clean_ and free__ and there   are__ worse places to be_
And at   least it   means_ no   beating_ from her   Dad_
  And if she cries_ because_ it's Christmas   Day_
She hopes_ that it won't_   show__
First_   Christmas__ a  way_-ay-ay-ay_ from   home__  
 
 
      In the apart_-ment stands_ a tree_ and it looks so_ small_ and   bare__
Not like_   it was_ meant_ to   _be_
      The Golden An_-gel_ on the top_ it's not_ that same _old sil__-  ver star__
You wan_-ted for_ your   own__
First_   Christmas_ a  way_-ay-ay-ay_ from   home_  _
 
 
 
                        
                                    
 
 
In the   morning_ they get prayers_ then it's_   Crafts and tea_ downs_-tairs__
Then a  nother meal  _  back_   in his__ little   room_  
Ho_-ping   maybe__ that_ the boys_ will think_ to   phone_ before the day_ is   gone_
Well it's   best they_ do it soon_
 
 
When the   old_ girl_ passed away_ he_ fell more   apart_ more everyday_
Each had   always_   kept the   other__ pretty   well_
But the   kids_ all said_ the nursing home_ was   best_
Cause he couldn't live a  lone_
First_   Christmas__ a  way_-ay-ay-ay_ from   home__  
 
 
   In the Common Room they've got the biggest tree_
And it's huge_ and cold  _  and lifeless_
not   like it_ ought to be_  _      
    And the lit-up_ flashing_ Santa Claus on top_
It's not that same old_ sil__-  ver star__ you once_ made_ for  _ your own_  
First__   Christmas__ a  way_-ay-ay-ay_ from   home__  
First__   Christmas__ a  way_-ay-ay-ay_ from   home____   ____
