about

The 1943 version of I'll Be Home for Christmas, with lyrics by Kim Gannon and composed by Walter Kent, was sung and recorded by Bing Crosby from the point of view of a soldier stationed overseas during World War II, writing a letter to his family. In the message, he tells the family he will be coming home and to prepare the holiday for him, and requests snow, mistletoe, and presents on the tree. The song ends on a melancholy note, with the soldier saying, "I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams" - wikipedia

The 2020 version by the townghost is sung with a similar sentiment but with the Covid 19 pandemic as the backdrop. Enjoy be safe and support local businesses and artists

lyrics

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

Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents under the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
And I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
