Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
[Verse 3]
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
[Verse 4]
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
[Verse 5]
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only, only in my dreams
Written by: Buck Ram, Kim Gannon, Walter Kent
