[Verse 1]
Bells will be ringing
The 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Crowds will be singing
Silent Night
Christmas carols
By candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please, come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas
By News Year's night

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
So won't ya tell me
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Years
We'll find your home
There'll be no sorrow
No grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again

[Instrumental Break]

There'll be no sorrow
No grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
So won't ya tell me
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Years
We'll find your home
There'll be no sorrow
No grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
I'll be happy, Christmas, once again
