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]

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 in my dreams

If only in my dreams
