Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Ooh, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
(Christmas) The snow's comin' down
(Christmas) I'm watchin' it fall
(Christmas) Lots of people around
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) The church bells in town
(Christmas) Are ringin' in song
(Christmas) Full of happy sounds
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
[Verse 1]
They're singin' 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
[Chorus]
(Christmas) Pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas) I'm watchin' them shine
(Christmas) You should be here with me
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
[Verse 2]
They're singin' 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
[Chorus]
(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, baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas, Christmas) Baby, please come home, oh, yeah, yeah
(Christmas) Ooh
(Christmas, Christmas) Ooh
Oh, yeah (Christmas)
