CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME) | testo
Oh, oh
yeah, yeah oh oh
ooh yeah
the snow’s comin’ down
(Christmas) I’m watchin’ it fall
(Christmas) lots of people around
(Christmas) baby, please come home
The church bells in town
(Christmas) are ringing in song
(Christmas) full of happy sounds
(Christmas) 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
(Christmas) I’m watching them shine
(Christmas) you should be here with me
(Christmas) 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
(Christmas) I’d hold back this tear
(Christmas) but it’s Christmas day
Please
(please) please
(please) please
(please) please (please)
Baby please come home (please)
(Christmas) baby please come home
(Christmas) baby please come home
(Christmas) baby please come home (Christmas)
Oh yeah yeah
