Christmas
You Two Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's Christmas, baby, please come home

The snow's comin' down (Christmas)
I'm watchin' it fall (Christmas)
Lots of people around (Christmas)
Baby, please come home

The church bells in town (Christmas)
They're ringin' a song (Christmas)
What a happy sound (Christmas)
Baby, please come home

They're singin' "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree (Christmas)
I'm watchin' 'em shine (Christmas)
You should be here with me (Christmas)
Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home

They're singin' "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

If there was a way (Christmas)
I'd hold back these tears (Christmas)
But it's Christmas day (Christmas)
Baby, please come home (Christmas)
Home (Christmas)
Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home




Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Darlene Love, which has been covered by various artists, including U2, are a plea for a loved one to come home for the holidays. The singer reflects on how the holiday season is not the same without their loved one present, longing for the joy and experiences they shared in previous years. The snow, the church bells, and the festive decorations serve as a reminder of their absence. The song is a poignant and emotional portrayal of the loneliness that many people feel during the holidays when they are separated from loved ones.


The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia for past holiday memories, while simultaneously hoping for their return in the present. The line "They're singing 'Deck The Halls,' but it's not like Christmas at all" captures the sentiment of the song, representing how the holiday season can feel empty and incomplete without the presence of those we love. The use of repetition in the chorus, with the plea of "Baby, please come home" emphasizes the importance of the loved one, and the sense of desperation in the singer's voice reinforces the urgency of the message.
