Christmas
(HD) Mariah Carey Lyrics

(Christmas) the snow's comin' down
It’s Christmas time and it’s snowing outside.

(Christmas) I'm watchin' it fall
I am sitting and watching the snowfall.

(Christmas) lots of people around
There are a lot of people out and about on this Christmas day.

(Christmas) baby, please come home
I am missing my loved one on Christmas and want them to come home.

(Christmas) the church bells in town
The church bells are ringing, signaling the start of Christmas day.

(Christmas) are ringing in song
The church bells are ringing a joyous song to celebrate Christmas day.

(Christmas) full of happy sounds
The town is filled with a lot of happy sounds and festivities on Christmas day.

(Christmas) baby, please come home
Once again, I am expressing my desire to have my loved one here with me on Christmas.

They're singing Deck The Halls
People are singing the Christmas carol, ‘Deck The Halls.’

But it's not like Christmas at all
Despite the Christmas celebrations around me, it still does not feel like Christmas without my loved one.

'Cause I remember when you were here
I am feeling nostalgic and remembering how much fun we had during the past Christmases when my loved one was here.

And all the fun we had last year
I am reflecting on the good times we had during Christmas last year.

(Christmas) pretty lights on the tree
There are beautiful lights decorated on the Christmas tree.

(Christmas) I'm watching them shine
I am enjoying watching the pretty lights on the Christmas tree shine.

(Christmas) you should be here with me
I wish my loved one was here to enjoy the Christmas festivities with me.

(Christmas) baby, please come home
Reiterating my desire to have my loved one with me on Christmas day.

(Christmas) if there was a way
If there was any possible way, I would prevent myself from crying on this Christmas day.

(Christmas) I'd hold back this tear
I am trying to hold back my tears but am finding it difficult on this emotional day.

(Christmas) but it's Christmas day
Despite my sadness, it is still Christmas and I am trying to embrace the joy of the day.

(Please) please
I am begging for my loved one to come home on Christmas day.

(Please) please
My desperation is evident as I repeat my request for them to come home.

(Please) please
I am filled with hope and desire and repetition is expressing my urgencies.

(Please) please (please)
Repeating my request one more time, hoping my loved one will hear me and come home.

Baby please come home (please)
Final plea to my loved one to come back home to me on Christmas day.

(Christmas) baby please come home
Last line, still holding on to the hope that my loved one will come home to me on Christmas day.

(Christmas)
The song is essentially about the singer's deep desire to spend Christmas with her loved one again and reminiscing about the good memories of past Christmases together.
