"I'll Be Home For Christmas"
I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more then I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
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 me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
Johnny Mathis recorded this song for his first Christmas album (his 7th studio album) titled Merry Christmas in
1958. It was on the Columbia label produced by Mitch Miller and Percy Faith provided the album's orchestration.
"I'll Be Home for Christmas" was copyrighted on August 24, 1943, by Walter Kent (music) and James "Kim" Gannon
(words). Kent and Gannon revised and re-copyrighted their song on Sep. 27, 1943, and it was this version that
was made famous by Bing Crosby. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" was recorded by Perry Como (1946), Frank Sinatra
(1957) and countless other artists. And the team of Kent and Gannon continued to write songs, although none
attained the popularity of "I'll Be Home for Christmas".
