Please Come Home For Christmas
3 Fox Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone and I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Ooh, Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas, come home for Christmas
Friends and relations send salutations
As sure as the stars shine above
It's Christmas time, my dear, oh, it's that time of year
To be with the one you love
Won't you please tell me, you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
Friends and relations send salutations
As sure as the stars shine above
It's Christmas time my dear, it's that time of year
To be with the one you love
So won't you tell me, you'll never never never more roam?
Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
No grief or pain and I'll be happy once again
The lyrics to 3 Fox Drive's "Please Come Home For Christmas" speak to the loneliness and sadness that can arise during the holiday season when loved ones are absent. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging that Christmas is a time for celebration, but the absence of their significant other has left them feeling blue. The reference to bells ringing signals the arrival of the holiday season, but instead of feeling joyful, the singer is filled with sorrow.
The second verse shifts the focus to the traditions of the season. Choirs singing Silent Night and Christmas carols by candlelight are staples of the holiday, but they do little to alleviate the singer's loneliness. What they really want is for their loved one to come home, and the chorus repeats the plea to "please come home for Christmas." The singer even extends the invitation beyond the holiday itself, asking their loved one to return before New Year's night.
The final verse returns to the idea of friends and family sending greetings and well wishes during the holiday season. Despite these kind gestures, the singer's ultimate desire is to be reunited with their loved one. The repetition of the phrase "no more sorrow, no grief and pain" drives home the message that all they want is to be happy together once again.
