Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues My baby's gone, I have no friends To wish me greetings once again Choirs will be singin' 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, yes, Christmas, my dear The time of year to be with the one you love Then won't you tell me, you'll never more roam Christmas and New Year's will find you home There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain 'Cause I'll be happy, happy once again Ooh, no more sorrow, no grief and pain 'Cause I'll be happy, Christmas once again
