Missy Robertson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
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 under my 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
In "I'll Be Home for Christmas," Missy Robertson sings of the longing to return to a place she loves during the holiday season. She describes how much more she dreams of this place than usual, and although she knows the journey back will be a long one, she promises to make it. She then assures her loved ones that she will be home for Christmas, even if only in her dreams. The song is a poignant depiction of the homesickness that many experience during this time of year, especially those who are unable to physically be with their loved ones. The lyrics are a reminder that, no matter where we are, the warmth of the memories we cherish can provide comfort and bring us home in spirit.
The song "I'll Be Home for Christmas" has a long and storied history. The tune was written in 1943 by lyricist Kim Gannon and composer Walter Kent, and it was originally aimed at soldiers fighting in World War II who were unable to be home with their families for the holidays. The first recorded version of the song was performed by Bing Crosby that same year, and it quickly became a hit. Since then, many other artists have covered the song, from Frank Sinatra to Elvis Presley to Michael Buble. It has become a beloved standard of the holiday season and an enduring symbol of the importance of family and home.

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
I'm spending the night lost in thoughts of a place dear to me
Even more than I usually do
My love for that place has grown stronger than my usual emotions
And although I know it's a long road back
Despite the fact that the journey back to that place is far and difficult
I promise you
I vow to you

I will be present and with loved ones for Christmas

And presents under the tree
I hope there will be gifts under the Christmas tree

Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.
