Christmas
Spector Phil 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 lyrics to Phil Spector's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" revolve around a sense of loneliness and longing for a loved one during the holiday season. The chorus, "Baby, please come home," is the central plea of the song. The singer views the snowfall, lights on the tree, and church bells as reminders of the happiness they shared with their partner during the Christmas season, but all of these things now only serve to emphasize their absence. Despite the joy around them, they can't help feeling alone without their loved one.


The first verse sets the scene of the snow falling and the crowds of people around, creating a festive atmosphere. The second verse brings in the sound of church bells ringing and happy sounds, adding to the sense of holiday cheer. However, the chorus soon follows and brings the listener back to the singer's sense of ache and longing for their loved one. The bridge strengthens this sentiment by emphasizing the stark differences between this year's holiday without their partner versus the previous year, when they experienced so much joy together.
