Please Come Home for Christmas Lyrics

Bells will be ringing the sad, sad news
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
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above
This is Christmas, yes christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love

So won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Tell me christmas and New Year
Will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow
No grief or no pain
I'll be happy, I'll be happy that it's Christmas once again.

There'll be no more sorrow
No grief or no pain
I'll be happy, I'll be happy once again.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

well, this song is pretty self explanitory.

she's sad and wants her love to come back home. holidays are lonely when you're by yourself because everyone else is happy and enjoying it with loved ones, and she just wants to have that happiness and warm feeling too [ the time of year to be with the one you love ] she knows she'll be happy if he comes home, and that's all she wants [ tell me christmas and new years will find you at home. there'll be no more sorrow, no greif and no pain. i'll be HAPPY i'll be HAPPY.. ]
