I'll be home for Christmas

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 you
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas

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

I hear the sleigh bells ringing
and the children singing
You know I'm coming home

I hear the sleigh bells ringing
And the children singing
You know I'm coming home

And ooh I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home
Imma be home for Christmas

I'll be home
Imma be home For Christmas

I'll be home
Imma be home for Christmas

I'll be home
Imma be home for Christmas

Ooh I can't wait to see
All of my friends and family
This Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas

Ooh I can't wait to see
All of my friends and family
This Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
