Bells will be ringing this sad, sad 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 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 But this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear The time of year to be with the ones you love So won't you tell me you'll never more roam Christmas and New Year's will find you home There will be no more sorrow, no grief and pain And I'll be happy, happy once again Ooh, there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain And I'll be happy, Christmas once again
