Christmas
Phil Spector And Artists 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 Phil Spector and Ellie Greenwich is a heartbreaking plea for a loved one to return home for the holidays. The opening lyrics set the scene of a snowy Christmas with lots of people around, but the singer feels incomplete without their beloved. The church bells ringing in song and the pretty lights on the tree in the next verse only make the singer feel more alone.


The chorus repeats the title phrase, "Baby Please Come Home," as the singer remembers the fun they had together the previous year. The final verse acknowledges the tears that come with being apart on such a meaningful holiday. The song ends on a desperate plea for the loved one in question to make their way back home.
