I'll be home for Christmas, 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

That song rings each year in my mind, you see
As we've been alone for Christmas, years are three
Yet, I'm not sad, for I have  you here in my heart
As I watch the videos all doing their part

As I watch others gather to homes nearby
I sit listening to music, but you won't see me cry
Someday, my dear, I'll be home for Christmas , you will see
We'll celebrate His birth, and we'll laugh, just you and me

For now you'll be together with your new family
Laughing, and cheering, by your Christmas tree
Gathering around with friends stopping by
Wondering what I'm doing, or if I will cry
Once again we'll me opening our Christmas presents from you
Just as we always used to do
This time we'll be together all alone
Sitting by the fireplace of our new home

Now don't feel bad, and don't you cry
Think about Christmas and then ask why
We can't be together for this holiday
The answer is simple, we're too far away

We'll call you on the telephone
Then I won't feel so blue or alone
Laughing and joking as we used to do
Remembering past Christmases we spent with you
