Jessica Simpson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of a place I love
Even than more than I usually do
And although I know
It's long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
And mistletoe
And presents round the tree
Christmas eve is gonna find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow
And lots of mistletoe
And presents round that tree
Christmas eve is gonna find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
