Please Come Home for Christmas
Homebound Love: A Christmas Plea by Luther Vandross
Lyrics
At Christmas Eve, tomorrow's near
Anticipation of Christmas Eve approaching.
I hope that love will bring you here, home for a while
Expressing hope that love will bring someone home for a temporary stay.
I'll make the best of what's for me
Commitment to making the best of the situation.
But I would love you here to be holding me now
Expressing a desire for the person to be physically present for comfort.
How I wish that you and I and love could be close
Expressing a wish for closeness and love during the holiday season.
'Cause the holidays are when I need you most, so
Highlighting the significance of holidays when the need for the person is greatest.
Another year, another chance
Reflecting on the passage of time and the opportunity for a fresh start.
A different song, a different dance
Acknowledging the potential for change in circumstances.
For us to try
Expressing openness to trying new things in the relationship.
Please come home for Christmas (I don't want it this way)
Pleading for the person to come home for Christmas, expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Please come home for Christmas (and stay)
Reiterating the plea for the person to come home and stay.
Good morning love, it's me again
Greeting the person on Christmas morning, expressing the continued thoughts of them.
As Christmas day begins again, I think of you
Reflecting on the start of Christmas day and the persistent thoughts about the person.
I know that time has passed us by
Acknowledging the passing of time and potential separation.
I tell myself to stop but I still dream it's true
Struggling to let go of the hope that the dreams about the person are true.
How I dream that you and I and love could be one
Expressing a dream of unity and love during Christmas time.
'Cause Christmas time should never be lonesome
Asserting that Christmas should not be a lonely time.
Remember when our love began
Recalling the beginning of the relationship.
You held my heart, I held you hand
Highlighting the emotional connection and commitment.
Ready to fly
Ready and willing to take a leap of faith in the relationship.
Please come home for Christmas (I don't want it this way)
Repetition of the plea for the person to come home for Christmas, expressing dissatisfaction.
Please come home for Christmas (and stay)
Reiterating the plea for the person to come home and stay.
