[Verse 1] The lights are shining on every street, Carols echo, bittersweet, Crowds are laughing, holding tight, But I’m alone again tonight. Snow keeps falling on my door, Same old ache I’ve felt before, Every sound just feels so wrong Without you here where you belong. [Pre-Chorus] Church bells calling through the cold, Every note reminds me so— [Chorus] Come home for Christmas tonight, All the stars don’t shine right, Every song just makes me blue When I’m not here next to you. Come home for Christmas tonight, I don’t need the snow or lights, If there’s one thing I ask of you— Come home for Christmas tonight. [Verse 2] Wrapped-up gifts beneath the tree, They don’t mean a thing to me, Crowded rooms and mistletoe Only make the silence grow. I hear laughter down the hall, But it feels so far away, Every voice just fades to gray When you’re not here on Christmas Day. [Pre-Chorus] Every choir, every tune Sings the same thing over you— [Chorus] Come home for Christmas tonight, Let this lonely end in sight, I don’t care what we go through, All I want is me and you. Come home for Christmas tonight, Let the wrong turn into right, Every prayer I’m sending through— Come home for Christmas tonight. [Bridge - Big Emotional Lift] I hear your name in every song, I’ve been holding on so long, If you’re somewhere hearing me, Please come back for Christmas Eve… [Final Chorus - Bigger, Pleading, Wall of Sound] Come home for Christmas tonight, Don’t let love stay out of sight, I’ll be waiting, holding true, Every second’s breaking through. Come home for Christmas tonight, Let the world feel warm and right, All my heart is calling you— Come home for Christmas tonight. [Outro] Snow keeps falling, lights burn bright… I’ll be here tonight.
