The recording by Bing Crosby shot to the top ten of the record charts that year and became a holiday musical tradition in the United States. The idea of being home for Christmas originated in WWI when soldiers at first thought that the war would be quick and they would return by Christmastime. This inevitably did not happen, hence the line “if only in my dreams”.
I’ll Be Home For Christmas
I’ll be home for Christmas
You can count 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
