The snow's coming down I'm watching it fall Lots of people around Baby please come home The church bells in town All singing in song Full of happy sounds Baby please come home They're singing "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 Pretty lights on the tree I'm watching them shine You should be here with me Baby please come home They're singing "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 If there was a way I'd hold back this tear But it's Christmas day Please Please Please Please Baby please come home
