美國影歌壇首席天王［平克勞斯貝］──聖誕歌曲經典──描述戰爭士兵思鄉心情的［I’ll Be Home for Christmas］

I'll be home for christmas;
You can plan on me.
Please have snow and mis-tle-toe
And presents on the tree.

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

I'll be home for christmas;
You can plan on me.
Please have snow and mis-tle-toe
And presents on the tree.

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

１９４３年　美國影歌壇首席天王平克勞斯貝（Bing Crosby）發行單曲［I’ll Be Home for Christmas］

此曲由Kim Gannon填詞　Walter Kent譜曲

彼時美國已參加第二次世界大戰　［I’ll Be Home for Christmas］是描述一名派外海外的士官寫信告訴家人想回鄉過節的心情

Kim Gannon將歌曲交給娛樂圈人士　沒人願意接受

因為末尾歌詞‘I’ll be home for Christmas , if only in my dreams’太過悲情

當Gannon與克勞斯貝打高爾夫球時　唱給他聽　後者相當喜歡　決定灌錄它

４０歲的平以他醇厚的男中音演繹這首溫暖的抒情曲

［I’ll Be Home for Christmas］先放在克勞斯貝前一年唱紅的［White Christmas］B面　註定它會走紅

１９４３年１０月　Decca公司以［I’ll Be Home for Christmas（If Only in My Dreams）］為名推出單曲　受到歡迎

登上告示榜＃３　並賣出一百萬張以上　成為金唱片

可是英國BBC卻禁播此曲　怕他悲哀的歌詞會影響聯軍士氣

［I’ll Be Home for Christmas］爾後被成千上百名藝人翻唱　成為著名的聖誕歌曲經典
