I'll Be Home For Christmas
Bing Crosby · Bing's Gold Records
You can plan on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
(Won't you please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree for me)
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
