《I’ll be Home for Christmas》 by HOME FREE

Lyricist: Kim Gannon
Composer: Walter Kent
Original Singer (in 1943): Bing Crosby

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

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

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

溫馨提示:
Stereo sound,請戴齊兩邊耳機細心欣賞~

在外國,聖誕節就像是我們的農曆新年一樣,是一家團聚的大日子。

這曲,是從一個第二次世界大戰,駐守在海外士兵的角度出發,寫一封信給親人:

「今年聖誕,我會回來啊!請準備雪和槲寄生,也不要忘了禮物,要放在聖誕樹下的喔。在平安夜那天,我會在充滿愛的柔和燈光下,回來跟你團聚。」

那個晚上,他夢見了最愛的地方,還會發現比以前更愛呢。雖然知道回家的路程十分遙遠,但他亦堅定的許下承諾:

“I'll be home for Christmas.”

祝各位聖誕快樂,過一個幸福聖誕
