Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bells will be ringin' the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
[Verse 2]
A choir will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, darling
By New Year's night
[Verse 3]
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
This is a Christmas, yes a Christmas, my dear
The time of the year to be with the one you love
[Verse 4]
Then won't you tell me you'll never more to roam
Christmas and New Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
'Cause I'll be happy once again
[Verse 5]
No more sorrow, no, no more sorrow
No, no more sorrow, baby, no more sorrow
No, no, no, no more sorrow, baby
I don't have no reason to worry, baby
No more, I feel like I'm pourin' water on a drownin' man
No more, no, no more sorrow, baby
No more, no more sorrow, baby
No more, Lord, no more, no more sorrow, baby
No more grief, no more pain
No more, baby
