Please Come Home For Christmas
Vincent Irizarry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing "Silent Night"
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Years night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas yes Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the ones you love
So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and new Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
Oh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, Christmas once again
The opening lines of this song are immediately sentimental and filled with sadness. The bells that are meant to bring joy and celebration now bring grief and tears because the singer’s baby is gone and he feels completely alone. The holiday season is supposed to be a time for coming together with loved ones and friends, but the singer has no one left to celebrate with him. The choir singing “Silent Night” and the Christmas carols being sung by candlelight only serve to amplify his loneliness.
The chorus of “Please come home for Christmas” is a plea for the singer’s loved one to return as soon as possible. He dreams of spending Christmas and New Year’s together, surrounded by family and friends, and experiencing the warmth of love and companionship. He believes that the holiday season is a time when everyone should be with those they love the most. The promise of seeing his beloved again is the only thing that can bring him happiness and make the holiday season memorable.
The final verse of the song explains that if the singer’s wishes come true, then there will be no more sorrow, grief or pain, and he will finally feel happy once again. The song ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that during the holiday season, even those who have lost everything can find hope and a reason to believe in love and joy again.
