Christmas
Kate Nauta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please tell me you'll be home for Christmas
I can't stand to think of you away
The snow is falling down
And I hear the sleigh bells sound
Please tell me you'll be home for Christmas

Since you've been gone across the ocean
I'm sitting by the fire all alone
The tears are coming down
And I need you now
Please tell me you'll be home for Christmas

I baked your favorite cake
And it's waiting here for you
Please don't let it, let it get too cold
Cause you're supposed to take care of me
I've been waiting by the phone
You're out there by yourself and I'm here all alone

I'm hanging mistletoe
And all the lights aglow
And I'm playing our favorite song
You're supposed to take of me
And I've been waiting by the phone
You're out there by yourself and I'm here all alone

Please tell me you'll be home for Christmas
I can't stand to think of you away
The snow is falling down
And I hear the sleigh bells sound




Please tell me you'll be home for Christmas
Please tell me you'll be home for Christmas
