This was the first song to be recorded for this project. I've always loved this song, but never really hear any modern versions of it, so I wanted to put a new twist on it. Here's some background on the song if you'd like a good read while listening to it: web.stlawu.edu/netnews/homeforchristmas.html
lyrics
I'm dreaming 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 gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
