Home Alone Main Title (Somewhere In My Memory) Lyrics
John Williams
Lyrics
Candles in the window
Shadows painting the ceiling
Gazing at the fire glow
Feeling that gingerbread feeling
Precious moments
Special people
Happy faces
I can see
Somewhere in my mem'ry
Christmas joys all around me
Living in my mem'ry
All of the music
All of the magic
All of the fam'ly home here with me
