Lyrics

[Verse 1]

At Christmas Eve, tomorrow's near

I hope that love will bring you here

Home for a while

I'll make the best of what's for me

But I would love you here to be

Holding me now

[Verse 2]

How I wish that you and I

And love could be close

'Cause the holidays

Are when I need you most

So, another year, another chance

A different song, a different dance

For us to try

[Verse 3]

Please come home for Christmas

I don't want it this way

Please come home for Christmas

And stay

[Verse 4]

Good mornin', love

It's me again

As Christmas Day begins again

I think of you

[Verse 5]

I know that time has passed us by

I tell myself to stop, but I

Still dream it's true

[Verse 6]

How I dream that you and I

And love could be one

'Cause Christmastime should never be lonesome

[Verse 7]

Remember when our love began?

You held my heart, I held your hand

Ready to fly

[Verse 8]

Please come home for Christmas

I don't want it this way

Please come home for Christmas

And stay
