Please Come Home For Christmas
Bon Jovi · Other Songs - Bon Jovi
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
(My baby's gone)
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Those Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
(Please come home)
Please come home for Christmas
(Please come home)
If not for Christmas by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above
(Yes, they do)
This is Christmas, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love
Then won't you tell me?
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year
(Christmas and New Year's)
Will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
I'll be happy that it's Christmas once again
(Happy)
Please Come Home For Christmas
Released by Bon Jovi, 'Please Come Home For Christmas' stands as a defining holiday anthem that blends rock energy with traditional seasonal sentiment. The track features the band's signature power chords and melodic hooks, characteristic of their late 1980s and 1990s era, while addressing themes of family reunion and the spirit of the season. Unlike many rock adaptations of Christmas music, the song maintains a driving rhythm that allows it to function as both a festive sing-along and a staple in live concert performances. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to capture the warmth of the holidays without sacrificing the band's hard-hitting musical identity, making it a recognizable and beloved song in their discography.
