Song Lyrics

Bells will be ringing, the glad - glad news
For what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone and I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Oh, crowds 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
As sure as the stars shine above
Yes it's Christmas, Christmas my dear
It's the time of the year -- time of the year
To be with the one you -- the one you really love

Oh won't you tell me, we'll never grow old

Christmas and New Years will find you home
They'll be no more sorrow, no more grief and pain
Because I'll be happy that it's Christmas once again

Please come home for Christmas baby
They'll be no more sorrow, no more grief and pain
Because I'll be happy, Lord I'll be so happy
Happy once again

Charles Mose Brown, Gene C. Redd
