Please Come Home For Christmas
Ryland James Lyrics

Bells will be ringing this sad, sad New Years
The sound of bells will still ring in the New Year, but it's unfortunate that the singer is feeling sad during this Christmas season.

Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
The singer is experiencing the blues during the holiday season.

My baby's gone I have no friends
The singer's loved one is not around for Christmas, and there is no one to share the festivities with.

To wish me greetings once again
The artist would like to have someone there to wish them happy holidays once again.

Cries will be singing Silent Night
People will be singing carols that are often peaceful and reflective, like Silent Night, but the artist is crying.

Christmas carols by candlelight
The singer envisions the traditional imagery of people singing carols by the warm, flickering light of candles during the holiday season.

Please come home for Christmas

If not for Christmas by New Years night

Sure as the stars shine above
The artist believes that they will always receive these well-wishes from above, similar to the shining of the stars.

But this is Christmas, yes Christmas my dear
Despite the sentimentality of the previous line, the singer highlights that this holiday season is different and particularly important.

It's the time of year to be with the one you love
The artist believes that Christmas is a holiday to be spent with those that you love.

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
The singer hopes their loved one will promise to never leave again, and be with them for future holidays.

Christmas and New Years will find you home
The singer is optimistic that their loved one will be able to return for future holiday seasons.

There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
The return of the loved one would mean the end of sadness and pain for the singer.

And I'll be happy, happy once again
The artist would be overjoyed to be happy once again with their loved one by their side during the holiday season.

Ooh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
Repeating the earlier line, the artist emphasizes their belief that the end of sorrow and pain is within reach.

And I'll be happy, Christmas once again
