Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news

Oh, what a Christmas to end the blues

My baby's gone, I have no friends

To wish me greetings, ooh, once again

Choirs 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

Sure as the stars shine above

This is Christmas, yeah, Christmas my dear

The time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam

Christmas and New Years will find you home

There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain

And I'll be happy, this Christmas once again
