length: 3 min 50 sec
music: Walter Kent
lyrics: Kim Gannon

I'll Be Home For Christmas is a beautiful Christmas song, and another of my favorites. It touched the hearts of so many soldiers far from home in World War II, when Bing Crosby first sang the song in 1943. And it continues to touch everyone whose heart is moved by the Christmas vision of warmth, togetherness, light, and love. I'm singing to a karaoke arrangement that is based on the Carpenters' magical, musical arrangement of the song.

LYRICS

I'll BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

I'm dreaming tonight
of a place I love,
even more than I usually do.
And although I know
it's a long way back,
I promise you. . .

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree.

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 by the tree.

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams. . .
