.a christmas song.
I"ll be home for christmas,
You can plan on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents for the tree.
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light leads.
I"ll be home for christmas,
If only in my dreams.
My godfather told me a story about this christmas song. And i thought that because it was such a touching story that I'd share it with you people, who so faithfully keep up with my mouldy blog.
This song has been around for about 60 years or so. It was written by a young soldier who was off in fighting in the World War in Europe (i can't remember which one..).. and so our young soldier put his life on the line to fight for his country and by the time December rolled by, he realized that this war would keep him in Europe, and that he would'nt be able to make it back home to spend Christmas with his family..
So the young man wrote this song.. to say that although he's half-a-world away, he will always be in his loved ones' hearts, if only in spirit..
"I'll be home for Christmas... if only in my dreams..."
