Story Behind The Song
We wanted to capture a sense of longing to go home for Christmas, to see loved ones and describe the journey that takes the listener from their mild climate, across harvested fields, up to the mountains to see snow covered evergreen trees and experience the beauty of a Northern Christmas setting.
Song Description
Story of a person who grew up in the mountains, now living life in the city, in a mild climate where there is no dramatic change of seasons. Christmas time is near and this person realizes they need to go "home" for Christmas to once again experience the love and beauty they remember from growing up.

Lyrics
Christmas Dreams (Coming Home For Christmas)
Michael Lewis
Street lights are way too bright 'round here gotta drive too far just to catch a star even when it's clear.
Palm trees mean that we won't freeze in December I feel all alone, need to get back home to the things that I remember Oh, if I could only remember...
(Chorus)
I'm coming home for Christmas
Home to see the snow and the evergreens. Meet me back home for Christmas. If you believe in Christmas dreams in Christmas dreams
On my way through the night and into the day 'Cross the fields of gold, rising into the cold misty morning with gray sunrays. Breaking through I flew into a cloudless sky, leaving it all behind for this clear blue sign and a skyline laced with pine. Oh the snow white covered pines (chorus)
(Bridge)
The gift that I've been waiting for is to see your smile again. I want to see you smile again. For a chance to spend this Christmas time with you.. is like a dream come true. Christmas dreams all come true.
