I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love lights gleam
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I always tell myself I'm going home for Christmas
But I never get there
And I find myself spending it all alone
And the loneliness gets so bad sometimes
I cry 'cause I can't take it
But this year, if I have to walk or crawl all the way
I'm gonna make it
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love lights gleam
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
