I'll Be Home For Christmas
Boney M (Holiday) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be home for Christmas
I'll be home just in time
I can't wait 'till I see you
Feel your heart next to mine

We'll be together again like before
You and I all alone
I'll hold you close when I walk through that door
I'll be home for Christmas

We can stay by the fire
With the lights turned down low
We can watch happy children
As they play in the snow

Though I may be far away from you now
Darling I promise this
It wont be long 'till we're sharing a kiss
I'll be home for Christmas

I'll be home for Christmas
I'll be home Christmas time




When you wait Christmas morning
I'll be there by your side
