[Verse 1: Jon Bon Jovi, Harry Bowens & Sweet Pea Atkinson]
Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone (My baby's gone) I have no friends
To wish me greetings, oh, once again

[Verse 2: Jon Bon Jovi, Harry Bowens & Sweet Pea Atkinson]
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

[Verse 3: Jon Bon Jovi]
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

[Verse 4: Jon Bon Jovi, Harry Bowens & Sweet Pea Atkinson]
Then won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year's (Christmas and New Year's) will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
'Cause I'll be happy (Happy) that it's Christmas once again, yeah

[Guitar Solo]
