Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’m dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although it’s a long road back
I promise you
Refrain
I’ll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
