[Verse 1]
E A
Home is where beds are made and butter is added to toast
E A
On a cold afternoon you can float room to room like a ghost
E A
Take the creche out and argue about who gets to set up the kings
E A
And I know that it is home because that is where the stereo sings
E A
I have got dreams, dreams to remember
B A E
But not even home will be with you forever
[Verse 2]
E A
It's Christmas time and the plane flies me over white hills
E A
To a town in a dream where the sky, it is frozen and still
E A
And a room that is not mine but it is just like I left it before
E A
With the wax from the candles all dusty and locks on the door
E A
Where I held you so tenderly
B A E
And where in summer I opened your letter to me
B Em D D C C/B
Em D C C/B
Now I am standing where we knee-led and a miracle mile now borders it
Em C C/B A
But if I turn my face to the field I do not even notice it for a second
[Verse 3]
E A
There is a tangle of greenery where winter scenery ends
E A
And I hear that song sometimes and imagine us much more than friends
E A
Like if we stayed in this town, bought the first house that went up on sale
E A
And how each Christmastime would bring in-laws and snow days and holiday mail
E A
Your dad says you are living in Georgia since last September
E A E A
Yeah well I have got dreams, dreams to remember, I have got dreams, dreams to remember
E A E A
I have got dreams, dreams to remember, I have got dreams, dreams to remember
B A E
Oh Sara, come back to New Hampshire we'll stay there forever
E A
