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'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again.

Oh, there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain,
And I'll be happy, happy once again.

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'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again.
I'll be happy, Christmas once again.
