Please Come Home For Christmas
Darlene Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

(Christmas) The church bells in town
(Christmas) All ringing in song
(Christmas) Full of happy sounds
(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
'Cause 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 this tear
(Christmas) But it's Christmas day
(Please) Please (please), please
(Please) Please (please), please
(Please) Please (please), please
(Please) Baby, please come home

(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Christmas) I need you, I need you
(Christmas) Please come home

(Christmas)

Overall Meaning

The song "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Darlene Love is a plea from the singer to her lover to come home for Christmas. The lyrics describe a scene of the snow falling, the church bells ringing, and the pretty lights on the tree, but despite all the festive cheer, it doesn't feel like Christmas without her love. She recalls the fun they had together last year and wishes for them to share this holiday season too. The repeated plea of "Please come home" emphasizes her longing and desperation to be reunited with her loved one.


The lyrics suggest a deep nostalgia for a time when love and togetherness were present. The reference to "Deck the Halls" serves as a reminder of a happier time when they were both celebrating Christmas together. The Christmas holiday represents a time of gathering, sharing love, and making memories with loved ones. However, the absence of her lover seems to taint the otherwise joyful occasion, and the singer longs for her lover's return to share the joy of the season.


In summary, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" expresses the singer's yearning for the return of her lover during the holiday season. The festive setting of Christmas, with snow, church bells, and pretty lights, contrasts with the sadness and loneliness she feels without her loved one.
