Baby Please Come Home
Josh Ramsay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're singing' deck the halls
It's not Christmas at all
Remember when you were here
And everything we had last year

All the church bells in town
They're ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home

Now the snows coming down
And I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby, please come home

Pretty lights on a tree
I've been watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby, please come home

All the church bells in town
They're ringing a song
And its a happier song
Please, please come on

If there was a way
I could hold back these tears
But its Christmas day
Please come home

Home,
Come home,
Come home,
Come home
Oh, Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Now the snows coming down
And I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby, please come home

Pretty lights on a tree
I've been watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby, baby come home





Come home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Josh Ramsay's "Baby Please Come Home" portray the pain of separation and loneliness during Christmas time. The opening lines of the song, "We're singing' deck the halls, It's not Christmas at all," describe the juxtaposition of the festive season with the feeling of emptiness in the absence of the loved one. The singer pines for the person who was present the previous year, and reminisces about the happy times they shared.


The chorus "All the church bells in town, They're ringing a song, What a happy sound, Baby please come home," expresses the irony of the happiness surrounding the festival while he is missing his beloved. The snowfall, the ringing bells, and the pretty lights on the tree, all create a vibrant atmosphere, but his heart aches for the one who's not there to share it with him. The last verses convey a deep sense of longing, beseeching the person to come back home.


The song gives a poignant representation of the pain and desperation of a person who longs for companionship and love during the festive season, but is left alone. The references to the holiday season give a poignancy to the lyrics, highlighting the deep sense of loss the singer feels.

I lost my grandmother last year and I think I picked the wrong time to find this, but I think it made it a little easier.
