Lea Salonga sings "I'll Be Home for Christmas" with the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra.
Listen as Lea Salonga sings her stirring rendition of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" with the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra. The wartime origins of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” underscore both the song’s hope and its poignancy. Lyricist Kim Gannon wasn’t thinking of soldiers specifically when he wrote these lyrics, but rather all people who were separated from their families by World War II.
