Christmas
Reed Deming Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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"
Not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas)
Oh if there was a way
(Christmas)
I'd hold back these tears
(Christmas)
Oh but it's Christmas day
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
Ohh woah oh
You know I need you
Oh comin' home

(Love, love, love, love)
I gotta have you
(Love, love, love, love)
You know I need you
(Love, love, love, love)
Oh love, oh love
(Christmas)
Woohoo...

(Love, love, love, love)
I gotta have you
(Love, love, love, love)
Oh you know I need you baby
Oh love, oh love, oh love
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, it's Christmas... yeah
oh oh oh oh oh oh




oh i'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
woohoo yeah

Overall Meaning

The song, "Christmas" by Reed Deming, is a Christmas classic that captures the feelings of loneliness and longing that can be present during the holiday season. The song begins with the lyric, "The snow's coming down, I'm watching it fall, lots of people around, baby please come home," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is surrounded by all the sights and sounds of the holiday season, but without the person they love, it feels empty and hollow.


Throughout the song, the singer reminisces about memories of Christmas past, particularly the fun they had with their loved one. The line, "They're singing 'Deck The Halls,' but it's not like Christmas at all," highlights the contrast between the festive atmosphere and the singer's inner emotions. They go on to plead for their loved one to come home, singing, "Oh if there was a way, I'd hold back these tears, oh but it's Christmas day, please come home."


Ultimately, "Christmas" is a moving song that acknowledges the complexity of emotions that can be present during the holiday season, particularly when we are separated from loved ones.
