Lyrics

(A)(Christ mas) The snow’s com in’ down.

(C#m)(Christ mas) I’m watch in’ it fall.

(D)(Christ mas) Lots of peo ple a round.

(E)(Christ mas) Ba by please come home.

The church bells in town,

they’re ring in’ a song.

What a hap py sound.

Ba by please come home.

They’re sing in’, “Deck The Halls,”

but it’s not like Christ mas at all.

I re mem ber when you were here and all the fun that we had last year.

Pret ty lights on the tree,

I’m watch in’ them shine.

You should be here with me.

Ba by please come home.

(A)Ba by please come home.

Ba by please come home,

please, please, please, please.

(A)(Christ mas) If there was a way, (C#m)(Christ mas) I would hold back these tears.

(D)(Christ mas) But it’s Christ mas day, ba by,

please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.

(A)Ba by please come home.

(F#m)Ba by please come home, ba by.

(D)Ba by please come home.

(E)Ba by please come home.

(A)Ba by please come home.

(F#m)Ba by please come home, ba by.

(D)Ba by please come home.

(E)Ba by please come home.
