Christmas Time is Here
Straight No Chaser 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
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
Cuz 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
Baby please come home
They're singing 'Deck The Halls'
But it's not like Christmas at all
Cuz 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
Baby please come home
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
The song "Christmas Time Is Here" by Straight No Chaser is a modern take on the classic holiday tune, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" originally recorded by Darlene Love. The song is about missing someone during the holiday season, as the singer longs for someone to come home and share in the holiday festivities with them. The song begins with a description of a snowy scene, with the snow falling and people bustling about. Despite the happy activity around them, the singer is saddened by the absence of their loved one.
As the song progresses, the singer reminisces about the fun they had with their loved one in years past, recalling the joy they shared during the holiday season. They describe the lights on the Christmas tree and how they should be enjoying them with their loved one, but they are not there. The chorus repeats the plea for the loved one to come home, with a desperate "please" at the end of each line. The song ends with a final plea for the loved one to return home for Christmas.
The song is a poignant reminder of how the holiday season can amplify feelings of loneliness and isolation, particularly for those who are missing loved ones. It conveys the universal human desire for companionship and connection during the holiday season, highlighting the importance of family and loved ones.

Beautiful vocal timbres and excellent arrangement—I only wish the dynamics to express the emotions of the lyrics (tempo, volume, etc.) were better.
