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 under the tree, yeah
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
[Verse 3]
Oh-oh-ah, I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Oh, Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
[Verse 4]
If only, yeah
Well now, if only, only, only, only
If only in my dreams
If only
Well, well, well, Lord
If only, oh
If only in my dreams
Written by: Buck Ram, Kim Gannon, Walter Kent
