Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by 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
If only in my dreams

My dad liked this song and would randomly sing it. He went home to be with Jesus on Christmas day 2019. I guess he kept his word
