They're singin' "Deck the Halls"
But its not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas) Oh, the snow's coming down
(Christmas) Now I'm watching it fall
(Christmas) All the people around
(Christmas) Baby please come home

(Christmas) Now the church bells in town
(Christmas) Oh, they're singing our song
(Christmas) Oh, what a happy sound
(Christmas) Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck the Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
Oh and all the fun we had last year

(Christmas) Oh Now the snow's coming down
(Christmas) Now I'm watching it fall
(Christmas) All the people around
(Christmas) Said Baby please come home
Yeah won't you please come home

They're singing "Deck the Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
Oh and all the fun that we had last year

(Christmas) Now the snow's coming down
(Christmas) Oh I'm watching it fall
(Christmas) All the people around
Baby, baby, baby, please come home
Now the snow's comin' down
Baby please come home

Alternate Version as recorded by U2:


This Christmas, Baby please come home

The stars coming down
I'm watching them fall
Lots of people around
Baby please come home

The church bells in town
They're ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had that year

Mini lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
Ooh Baby, please come home
Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had that year

If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But this Christmas day
Baby please come home

Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Ohh Baby, please come home
