Come On Baby
The Bon Bons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone (My baby's gone), I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Those Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas (please come home)
If not for Christmas by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above
(Yes, they do)
This is Christmas, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love
Then won't you tell me?
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year (Christmas and New Year's)
Will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
'Cause I'll be happy (happy) that it's Christmas once again
The Bon Bons's song "Come On Baby" is a classic Christmas song that conveys the pain and loneliness that come with not having a loved one during the holiday season. The opening lyrics "Bells will be ringing, the glad, glad news, Oh what a Christmas to have the blues" set the tone for the song as it highlights the stark contrast between the joy of the holiday season and the sadness that the singer is feeling. The second line of the opening verse, "My baby's gone, I have no friends, To wish me greetings once again" tells a tale of loneliness and despair that is often associated with people during the holidays.
The song goes on to reflect on the traditions of Christmas, such as the choir singing Silent Night and carols being sung by candlelight. The chorus of the song is a plea to the person who has left the singer's life to come home for Christmas, even if it's for New Year's night. The lyrics "Friends and relations send salutations, Just as sure as the stars shine above, This is Christmas, Christmas my dear, The time of year to be with the one that you love" paint a picture of nostalgia for the singer as they yearn for the sense of love and companionship that comes with the holiday season.
In the second half of the song, the singer expresses their hope and desire for the person who has left to come back for good. The lyrics "Then won't you tell me? You'll never more roam, Christmas and New Year Will find you at home, There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain, 'Cause I'll be happy (happy) that it's Christmas once again" express the hope that the holidays can bring into someone's life, bringing with it the hope of healing broken relationships and finding love once again.
