Lyrics

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love

Even more than I usually do

And although I know it's a long road back

I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas

You can count on me, oh-oh

Please have snow and mistletoe

And presents under the tree

Christmas eve will find me

Where the love lights gleam

I want you to know

I'll be home for Christmas

If only in my dreams, oh-oh-oh

Please have snow and mistletoe

And presents under the tree, oh-oh-ooh

Christmas eve will find me

Where the love lights gleam, oh-oh-oh

I'm gonna be home for Christmas

If only in my dreams

If only in my dreams
