Christmas: Baby Please Come Home
Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(The snow) the snow's coming down
(Christmas) I'm watching it fall
(Christmas) watching the people around
(Christmas) baby, please come home

(Christmas) the church bells in town
(Christmas) they're ringing a song
(Christmas) what a happy sound
(Christmas) baby please come home

They're singing Deck the Halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas) pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas) I'm watching them shine
(Christmas) you should be here with me
(Christmas) baby, please come home

They're singing Deck the Halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas) If there was a way
(Christmas) I'd hold back these tears
(Christmas) But it's Christmas Day
(Please), please (please), please (please), please (please), please (please)
Oh comin' home
Oh babe
You know I need you
Oh comin' home

You know I need you
I gotta have you
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you




Oh babe
Oh babe please come home
