I'll be home, I'll be home for Christmas
Yes, I will
You, you can count on me
Yes, you can

Please, please have snow and a lot of mistletoe
And presents, lots of presents under the tree
For you and me

Oh, Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams, whoa
Baby, I'll be home for Christmas
Yes, I will, if only, only in my dreams

Now darling, I know I've been on the road
When the snow starts to fall
You gotta bring that Christmas tree home all by yourself
And decorate it

Well, I promise you, darling
If I have to put on my galoshes
Walk all the way home from St. Louis
To be by your side on Christmas morning
Listen to me 'cause I swear to you, darling

I, I'm gonna be home for Christmas
Yes, I will if only in my dreams
Baby, if only in my dreams
Well, if only, only in my dreams

I'm gonna be home for Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas this year
I'll be home for Christmas this year
I'll be home for Christmas this year

I'm gonna kiss you underneath the mistletoe, baby
