On October 4, 1943, Bing Crosby recorded "I'll Be Home
for Christmas" Within about a month the song hit the music
charts and remained there for eleven weeks. The following
year, the song reached number nineteen on the charts. It
touched a tender place in the hearts of Americans, both
soldiers and civilians, who were then in the depths of
World War II, and it earned Crosby his fifth gold record.
"I'll Be Home for Christmas" became the most requested
song at Christmas U.S.O. shows in both Europe and the
Pacific and Yank, the GI magazine, said Crosby accomplished
more for military morale than anyone else of that era.

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.

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