I'll Be Home for Christmas
Lisa Lambe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will 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 snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
The song "I'll Be Home for Christmas" is a heartwarming ode to the spirit of the holiday season. The lyrics paint a vivid image of a person who is far away from their loved ones and will not physically be present for the festivities, but is still dreaming of being there. The singer longs for the cozy warmth and familiar traditions of home, as they imagine snow and mistletoe, presents under the tree, and the love light gleaming on Christmas Eve.
The sentiment behind "I'll Be Home for Christmas" is particularly poignant because it was written during World War II when many soldiers were deployed overseas and unable to return home for the holidays. The song became an instant classic and remains so today because it captures the truly universal human desire for love, family, and connection that is at the heart of the holiday season.

I dreaming tonight
I am having a dream of my desired destination
Of a place I love
The dream is about a place I deeply love
Even more than I usually do
I have an extra special fondness for this place in my heart
And although I know
Despite the fact that I understand
It's a long road back
The journey to reach my desired destination is quite lengthy
I promise you
I vow to you
I'll be home for Christmas
I will be at my desired destination for Christmas
You can count on me
You can rely on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
I hope you will have snow and mistletoe present
And presents on the tree
With gifts beneath the Christmas tree
Christmas Eve will find me
On Christmas Eve I will certainly be at my desired destination
Where the love light gleams
In a warm and welcoming place surrounded by love
If only in my dreams
Even if I cannot be there in reality, I will still dream of being there
