Please Come Home for Christmas
Christmas Homecoming: A Tale of Love and Reunion
Lyrics
Ah
Expressing a sigh or emotional reaction
Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Bells will announce joyful news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
Reflecting on a Christmas with a sense of sadness
My baby's gone, I have no friends
The speaker's significant other has left
To wish me greetings once again
Feeling lonely without friends' greetings
Choirs will be singing "Silent Night"
Choirs singing "Silent Night" symbolizing Christmas
Oh, Christmas carols by candlelight
Traditional Christmas carols in a peaceful setting
Please come home for Christmas
Pleading for the loved one to come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
-If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Even if not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Extended family and friends sending greetings
Sure as the stars shine above
Expressing certainty, comparing to stars above
Oh, this is Christmas, yes, Christmas, my dear
Emphasizing the joyous atmosphere of Christmas
The time of year to be with the ones you love
Highlighting the importance of being with loved ones
Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Requesting a promise to stay close and not leave
Christmas and New Years will find you home
Hope for a reunion during Christmas and New Year
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief, no pain
Anticipation of a future without sorrow or pain
Because I'll be happy, happy once again
Hopeful about finding happiness once again
Mm-mm, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Expressing emotions, possibly joy or yearning
No more sorrow, no grief, no pain
Reiteration of the anticipation of a joyful time
Because it's Christmas, Christmas once again
Christmas as a time of relief and joy
Oh, friends and relations send salutations
Extended family and friends sending greetings again
Sure as the stars shine above
Reiteration of the certainty of Christmas
Oh, this is Christmas, yeah, Christmas, my dear
Reaffirming the special atmosphere of Christmas
The time of year to be with the one you love
Underlining the importance of being with a loved one
Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Requesting assurance of not leaving in the future
Christmas and New Years will find you home
Hope for a reunion during Christmas and New Year (repeated)
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief, no pain
Anticipation of a future without sorrow or pain (repeated)
Because it's Christmas, Christmas once again
Emphasizing the joyous and hopeful spirit of Christmas (repeated)
