You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

Please Pray for 22 who did not like this tune! Something is missing that those of us who did like it! I have JOY of Christmas because I was determined for my family as an adult not to have what I had as a youth with my family: isolation, ridicule, ineptness, pun of every joke, shame, etc... Pray that God will send the Joy we feel at this time of year to them! Merry Christmas! All about Christ, Family and Community!
