I’ll Be Home for Christmas Lyrics by Bing Crosby

[Verse 1]
I’m dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it’s a long road back
I promise you

[Chorus]
I’ll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree

[Verse 2]
Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

[Chorus]
If only in my dreams

Lyrics by Bing Crosby
