Lyrics
I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Reflecting on a place deeply cherished
Even more than I usually do
Expressing heightened affection for that place
And though I know it's a long road back
Acknowledging the distance to return
I promise you
Commitment to come back
I'll be home for Christmas
Assurance of being present at home during Christmas
You can count on me
Offering reassurance of reliability
Please have snow and mistletoe
Requesting traditional Christmas elements
And presents all around the tree
Desiring a festive atmosphere
Christmas Eve will find me
Anticipating being where love shines brightly
Where the love light gleams
Referencing a place filled with affection
I'll be home for Christmas
Reiterating the pledge to return home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Expressing the desire even if it's in imagination
Christmas Eve will find me
Repeating the expectation of being in a loving place
Where the love light gleams
Reiterating the atmosphere of affection
I'll be home for Christmas
Reaffirming the commitment to be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Emphasizing the possibility of being present in thoughts
I'll be home for Christmas
Restating the desire to be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Highlighting the wishful aspect of being home, even in dreams
