Home for Hanukkah

December gets so cold
and I start feeling old
I long for the warmth of my home
So far from my family
with them I would rather be
I'm getting ready to go home
I'm going home, home for Hanukkah
I'm going home, home for Hanukkah
I see the latkes fry
my mother's apron fly
as she cooks up another plate
of golden potato cakes
so good I hate to wait
so very soon I will be home
I'm going home, home for Hanukkah
I'm going home, home for Hanukkah
Menorah light so bright
keeps the dark from the night
how I love to watch them shine
presents wrapped so carefully
waiting for opening
I can't wait to open mine
I'm going home, home for Hanukkah
I'm going home, home for Hanukkah

When we're done with dinner
it's the best time of the night
we're lighting up the menorah
standing in the light
Dancing around the menorah
like we've done for so many years
we're singing rock of ages
Hanukkah is here
The house still smells of latkes
of onion in the air
and soon we'll open presents
there are so many
Dancing around the menorah
like we've done for so many years
we're singing rock of ages
Hanukkah is here
Our voices ringing out
all throughout the house
joyous time of year
with our family near
Dancing around the menorah
like we've done for so many years
we're singing rock of ages
Hanukkah is here

Stay, Eight Days

I waited eight nights for you
hoping you'd come to me
but that'd be a miracle
you're so far away
in another state
oh won't you come back home
I watch the dreidel spin
oh but I can't win
I miss you around
please come back to town
to stay
eight days
or longer please if you can find a way
As candles burn
and dreidel turns
I would think of you
wonder where you are
driving in your car
take the road that lead you home
I watch the dreidel spin
oh but I can't win
I miss you around
please come back to town
to stay
eight days
or longer please if you can find a way
You're missing out on Hanukkah
like apple sauce with no latke
no singing songs of Maccabees oh
couldn't you be here with me
I watch the dreidel spin
oh but I can't win
I miss you around
please come back to town
to stay
eight days
or longer please if you can find a way
stay
eight days
or longer please if you could find a way
