I'll Be Home For Christmas
The London Studio Orchestra 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
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
The London Studio Orchestra's song, "I'll Be Home for Christmas," is a classic holiday tune that has been covered by numerous artists since its release in 1943. The song is interpreted to be about a soldier or a traveler who is far away from home and is dreaming of spending Christmas with his loved ones in his hometown. The singer is dreaming of a place that he loves even more than he usually does and even though he knows it's a long road back, he promises to be home for Christmas. This promise is reassured in the chorus where the singer promises that he will be home for Christmas and encourages his loved ones to have snow, mistletoe, and presents under the tree, as it would make the holiday even more special.
The second verse reinforces the promise the singer made earlier by stating that Christmas Eve will find him where the love light gleams. This line is very powerful as it indicates that the singer will be spending Christmas with people who love him and who he loves back. The last line of the song, "If only in my dreams," is poignant as it could mean that he may not be able to make it home as promised, but he will still dream of being there with his loved ones.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and emotional representation of the desire for human connection and the yearning to be with loved ones during the holiday season.

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
At this moment, I am lost in thoughts about a place that holds a special place in my heart
Even more than I usually do
My feelings towards this place are heightened beyond normality
And although I know
Despite being aware of a particular fact
It's a long road back
The journey to return to this place is going to be arduous and lengthy
I promise you
I am making an assurance to you
I'll be home for Christmas
I will be present at home for the celebrations of Christmas
You can count on me
You can rely on me to be there
Please have snow and mistletoe and presents under the tree
I request that there be a white Christmas, decorated with mistletoe and presents under the tree
Christmas eve will find me
On Christmas eve, I will be present
Where the love light gleams
I will be where the warm and comforting ambiance of love illuminates the atmosphere
If only in my dreams
Even if I can only imagine being present, I will keep the promise to be home for Christmas
