Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Lyrics

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby, please come home

The church bells in town
They're ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby, please come home

They're singing "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
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby, please come home

Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home

They're singing "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
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby, please come home

Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home

Usually I can't tolerate Christmas songs, but they did this cover so marvelously that I can't help but love it. Pretty simple & self-explanitory song, yet Ben still manages to squeeze in so much emotion to his voice as he sings. Loveliness.

I agree with "strangelittlesecret." This song is great and Ben's voice enhances the lyrical content as well as the mood of the song. Excellent.

My boyfriend moved from New Jersey to Arizona back in October and I wanted him home for christmas really badly...so I can totally relate to this song.

Needless to say that he WAS back for christmas and it made my holiday so much better. :)

I am in love with this song. I know its silly to be listening to christmas songs in September, but this song has a deep meaning for me.

One of my best friends is moving away to Ecuador permanently this christmas, and I'm gonna miss her like mad....it may be 2 or more years before I see her again, and thats why I wanna try and make this special, so this is my anthem for the coming christmas =]
