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
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light leads
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Oh, Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light leads
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams, if only in my dreams
