Please Come Home For Christmas
Etta James - Lyrics

Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
The sound of church bells ringing signifies good news; this Christmas season will mark the end of my sadness and mourning.

Oh, what a Christmas to end the blues
This upcoming holiday season will be a joyous occasion and will help me overcome my sadness and misery.

My baby's gone, I have no friends
I am feeling alone and isolated since my significant other has left me, and I don't have anyone to celebrate Christmas with.

To wish me greetings, ooh, once again
I long for someone to wish me sincere holiday greetings, such as Merry Christmas, once again like in years past.

Choirs will be singing Silent Night
During the Christmas season, you can expect to hear choirs singing popular holiday songs, such as Silent Night.

Christmas carols by candlelight
In addition to choirs singing, Christmas carols can also be heard being played softly by candlelight.

Please come home for Christmas
I am urging my loved one who has left to come back home for the holidays, so we can be together again.

Please come home for Christmas
My longing for my loved one to return is being expressed again, hoping that they will hear my plea and come home for Christmas.

If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
I am willing to extend the invitation and offer a later deadline, hoping that they will at least come back by New Year's Eve instead.

Friends and relations send salutations
Even though my loved one is not around, I still receive holiday greetings from other friends and family members.

Sure as the stars shine above
As surely as the stars can be seen shining in the sky at night, I can expect to receive holiday greetings from others during this time of year.

This is Christmas, yeah, Christmas my dear
I am acknowledging that this is indeed the Christmas season, and I am feeling sentimental and emotional about it, my dear.

The time of year to be with the one you love
This is the ideal time of year to spend time with the people you love, especially your significant other.

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
I am pleading with my loved one to promise me that they will never leave my side again, and that they will stay with me for good.

Christmas and New Years will find you home
I am optimistic that by the time the Christmas and New Year's holidays arrive, my loved one will be back home with me again.

Please come home for Christmas
Once more, I am urging my loved one to come back home for the holidays, so we can spend this special time together.

Please come home for Christmas
I am repeating myself once more, as my desire for my loved one to return home for the holidays is unwavering.

If not for Christmas by New Year's night
Once again, I am offering a later deadline for my loved one to return home and spend time with me, by at least New Year's Eve, if not Christmas itself.

There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain
Once my loved one returns home, I will be overjoyed and relieved, and all the negative emotions that I am currently feeling will disappear, leaving no more sorrow, grief, or pain.

And I'll be happy, happy once again
Once we are reunited, I will once again experience happiness, and my heart will be full.
