I'll Be Around
Harbor and Home Lyrics

The lyrics of Harbor and Home's song "I'll Be Around" reflect the yearning for a special time of year with loved ones. The song is a cover version of the classic Christmas tune by Bing Crosby, and it's sung with raw emotion that conveys a sense of longing to return to a place called home. The lyrics are straightforward, but they can be interpreted in different ways.

The first few lines of the song paint a picture of a traditional Christmas with snow, mistletoe, and presents under the tree. The singer sings with conviction that he will be home for Christmas, no matter what. The line "if only in my dreams" carries an emotional resonance that suggests that the singer may not make it home physically but he will be there in spirit. Still, he remains optimistic and reminds his loved ones to plan for his arrival.

The second verse is a repetition of the first, but with a different tone. The line "Where the love light gleams" is a metaphor for the warmth and love that can be found in a family gathering. The singer is aware that he may not be physically present, but he is aware that his loved ones will be there to celebrate with a shared sense of love and togetherness.
