Twelve Days Of Christmas Carols - Day 10 - For The Troops





Each day I search through Youtube for the perfect rendition of the daily carol.  Today was no different.  I must have gone through four pages before I came across this version and instantly knew it was perfect. Perfect for the song, but also for the season and the times.  Even though this version depicts American Troops - and I am Canadian,, I feel the message is still there.  I know, regardless what country we reside in, we pray for our troops and wish them safe passage in their mission and as they return home to loved ones.

May God Bless and Keep All our Troops.





I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistle toe
And presents under 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

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