  • Home for the holidays
    I believe I've missed each and every face
    Come on and play one easy
    Let's turn on the love lights in the place
    It's time I found myself
    Totally surrounded in your circles
    Oh, my friends

    Please celebrate me home
    Give me a number
    Please celebrate me home
    Play me one more song
    That I'll always remember
    I can recall whenever I
    Find myself, too, all alone
    I can sing me home

    Uneasy highway
    Traveling where the westerly winds can fly
    Somebody try to tell me
    But the man forgot to tell me why
    I gotta count on being gone
    Come on, mama
    Come on, daddy
    Hear what you want from me, yeah
    I'll be strong and I'll be weak

    Please celebrate me home
    Give me a number
    Please celebrate me home
    Play me one more song
    That I'll always remember
    I can recall whenever I
    Find myself, too, all alone

    I can make believe I've never gone
    I never know where I belong
    Sing me home

    Please celebrate me home
    Give me a number
    Please celebrate me home
    Play me one more song, yeah

    Celebrate, celebrate
    Celebrate, celebrate
    Celebrate, celebrate
    Celebrate me home
    Celebrate, celebrate (please celebrate me home)

    (Please celebrate me home)
    Well, I'm finally here but I'm bound to roam
    Come on, celebrate me home
    Well, I'm finally here but I'm bound to roam
    Come on, celebrate me home
    Well, I'm finally here but I'm bound to roam
    Come on, celebrate me home
    Well, I'm finally here but I'm bound to roam (please celebrate me home)
    (Celebrate me home)

    Please celebrate me home (finally here)
    Please celebrate me home (celebrate me home)
    Finally here but I'm bound to roam (please celebrate me)
    Celebrate me home
    Finally here but I'm bound to roam (please celebrate me)
    Celebrate me home
    Finally here but I'm bound to roam (please celebrate me)
    Celebrate me home
    Finally here but I'm bound to roam (please celebrate me)

  • Mike from San FranciscoAmen to B.I.'s observation. :) Also love BW's interpretation of this song. For me, the first few notes of the song signal the arrival of the holidays each year, and the chance to finally slow down and be "totally surrounded" in circles of family and old friends. I'm sure BW's son is surrounded by just that.
  • B W from Usathis song has a different meaning for me... my son died several years ago .. ptsd .. Iraq etc. For me, it makes me think of him going to heaven, "Home". No matter the season, it gives me a good cry. :)
  • Adam from Gowen, MiI've always been puzzled by the title of this song - the words don't seem to make sense. "Celebrate MY Home" would make sense, "Deliver Me Home" or something similar would work. This is a beautiful song that I love to hear around Christmas time, but I'm always puzzled by this.
  • B.l. from Barry, TxOne of my favorite Loggins' songs, and I usually do hear around Christmastime, or when the local "Lite Rock" station starts playing Christmas music in early Novemmber. I'm glad to see "Celebrate" receive an entry, but couldn't there have been more about Kenny Loggins and the song than about "American Idol?"
