This festive classic is a poignant exploration of longing and nostalgia during the holiday season. The lyrics convey a deep sense of yearning for a loved one who is absent, making the joyous festivities feel hollow and incomplete. The repeated phrase "Baby please come home" underscores this desperate plea for reunion. The song juxtaposes the external merriment symbolized by snowfall, ringing church bells, and decked halls with the protagonist's internal loneliness and sadness. The contrasting imagery vividly captures how personal loss can overshadow collective celebrations. Thus, while being a Christmas song, it also serves as a universal expression of longing for lost love or companionship during times of celebration.
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Lyrics
(Christmas) The snow's coming down
(Christmas) I'm watching it fall
(Christmas) Lots of people around
(Christmas) Baby please come home
(Christmas) The church bells in town
(Christmas) All ringing in song
(Christmas) Full of happy sounds
(Christmas) Baby please come home
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
(Christmas) Pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas) I'm watching them shine
(Christmas) You should be here with me
(Christmas) Baby please come home
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
(Christmas) If there was a way
(Christmas) I'd hold back this tear
(Christmas) But it's Christmas day
(Please) Please, (please) please
(Please) Please, (please) please
(Please) Please, (please) please
(Please) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Christmas) I need you, I need you
(Christmas) Please come home
(Christmas)
(Christmas)
(Christmas)
(Christmas)
