Christmas
Leighton Meester Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Lots of people around
Baby please come home
The church bells in town
All ringing in song
Full of happy sounds
Baby please come home

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

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Come home come home

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

If there was a way
I'd hold back this tear
But it's Christmas day
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Come home come home

Baby please come home
Baby please come home




Baby please come home
Come home come home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Leighton Meester's "Christmas" are a plea for a loved one to come home for the holidays. The singer is watching the snow fall and sees lots of people around, but feels that something is missing without the person they are calling for. The church bells are ringing, and everyone else seems to be in a happy mood, but the singer can't fully enjoy the holiday without their loved one. The singer fondly remembers spending Christmas with their loved one in the past and wishes they were here now to enjoy the present moment. Despite the festive decor and holiday cheer, the singer feels a sense of loneliness without their loved one, and the chorus is a repetitive plea for them to come home.

It's snowing outside


I'm watching it fall
I'm looking at the falling snow


Lots of people around
There are many people nearby


Baby please come home
I miss you and want you to come home


The church bells in town
Bells are ringing in the nearby church


All ringing in song
The bells are making a musical sound


Full of happy sounds
The sound is joyful and cheerful


They're singing 'Deck The Halls'
People are singing the Christmas carol 'Deck The Halls'


But it's not like Christmas at all
Despite the festive environment, the absence of a loved one makes it feel un-Christmas-like

And how much we enjoyed ourselves during the last Christmas season


Pretty lights on the tree
The Christmas tree is decorated with beautiful lights


I'm watching them shine
I'm admiring the brightness of the lights


You should be here with me
You ought to be here with me


If there was a way
I wish there was a method


I'd hold back this tear
So I could refrain from crying

I wish for you to be here with me and celebrate Christmas together


Come home come home
I want you to come home as soon as possible
