I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS^[1]

VERSE: I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love, even more than I usually do,
And although I know It's a long road back I promise you—^[2]

CHORUS: I'll be home for Christmas; you can plan on me.^[3]
Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree.^[4]
Christmas eve will find me where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams.

NOTES:
1. From Wikipedia: "The song was written by the lyricist Kim Gannon, and the composer Walter Kent. Buck Ram, who previously wrote a poem and song with the same title, was credited as a co-writer of the song following a lawsuit. The original 1943 release of the song by Bing Crosby on Decca Records listed only Walter Kent and Kim Gannon as the songwriters on the record label. Later pressings added the name of Buck Ram to the songwriting credit."

2. The verse is omitted by most singers, including Bing Crosby.

3. Some recorded versions have "count on me."

4. Some recorded versions have "by the tree" or "under the tree."
