Christmas Baby Come Home
Cher & Rosie O'Donnell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its Christmas, baby please come home,
Christmas,
The snow's coming down,
I'm watching it fall,
Lots of people around,
Baby please come home.
Christmas,
The church bells in town
Are ringing of snow,
What a happy sound,
Baby please come home.
(chorus)
They're singing deck the hall,
But its not like christmas at all,
Coz I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
Christmas,
Pretty lights on the trees
I'm Watching them shine,
You should be here with me,
Baby please come home,
Baby please come home,
Baby please come home,
Baby please come home.
(repeat chorus)
If there was a way,
I'd hold back each tear,
But its Christmas day,
Baby please come home.
(repeat chorus)
If there was a way,
I'd hold back each tear,
But its Christmas day,
Baby please come home.
(repeat chorus)
If there was a way,
I'd hold back each tear,
But its Christmas day,
Baby please come home.
OH baby please come home
Baby please
Baby please
Baby please come home
Pretty lights on the trees
I'm watching them shine,
You should be here with me
Baby please come home,
Baby please come home,
Baby please come home,
Baby please come home,
Baby please come home.
Christmas.
The song "Christmas Baby Come Home" by Cher and Rosie O'Donnell is a cover of the original song by Darlene Love. The lyrics are simple, yet poignant, as they express the longing for a loved one to come home for Christmas. The repetition of "baby please come home" throughout the song emphasizes the desperation of the singer. The imagery of the snow falling and the church bells ringing of snow creates a festive atmosphere, but also highlights the absence of the loved one.
The chorus of the song contrasts the joyful atmosphere of Christmas with the singer's sadness and memories of the previous year when the loved one was present. The use of "deck the hall" as an example of the typical Christmas song emphasizes the disconnect between the singer's emotions and the holiday spirit.
Overall, the song captures the universal feeling of missing someone during the holiday season and the hope that they will return. The plea for the loved one to come home is a symbol of the importance of family and connection during the season of giving.
