Lyrics

Please Come Home For Christmas

[Verse 1]

At Christmas Eve, tomorrow's near

I hope that love will bring you here

Home for a while

I'll make the best of what's for me

But I would love you here to be

Holding me now

[Pre-Chorus]

How I wish that you and I and love could be close

'Cause the holidays are when I need you most, so

Another year, another chance

A different song, a different dance

For us to try

[Chorus]

Please come home for Christmas

I don't want it this way

Please come home for Christmas

And stay

[Verse 2]

Good morning, love, it's me again

As Christmas Day begins again, I think of you

I know that time has passed us by

I tell myself to stop but I still dream it's true

[Pre-Chorus]

How I dream that you and I and love could be one

'Cause Christmas time should never be lonesome

Remember when our love began

You held my heart, I held your hand

Ready to fly

[Chorus]

Please come home for Christmas

I don't want it this way

Please come home for Christmas

And stay
