Please Come Home For Christmas
Bryan Duncan (Holiday) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing "Silent Night"
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Years night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas yes Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the ones you love
So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and new Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
Oh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, Christmas once again
The lyrics to Bryan Duncan's "Please Come Home For Christmas" express a sense of sadness and longing for someone to come home for the holiday season. The opening lines paint a picture of despair as bells ring out the news that the singer's loved one is gone and there's no one around to wish him well. The chorus is a pleas for his loved one to return home for Christmas and New Years, with the hope that the holidays will bring them back together.
The second verse provides a hopeful tone, with the mention of choirs singing "Silent Night" and carols by candlelight. However, the urgency of the plea remains, as the singer wants nothing more than for his loved one to come home. The verse ends with a request for a promise to never "roam" again, with the hope that the holiday season will bring an end to the sorrow and pain that's been a constant in the singer's life since their loved one left.
Overall, "Please Come Home For Christmas" is a poignant reminder of the importance of being with loved ones during the holiday season, and how empty it can feel when that connection is lost.
