Michael Buble - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Lyrics
Lyrics
(Christmas)
The snow's coming down
(Christmas)
I'm watching it fall
(Christmas)
Lots of people around
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
(Christmas)
The church bells in town
(Christmas)
All ringing in song
(Christmas)
Full of happy sounds
(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
And all the fun we had last year
(Christmas)
Pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas)
I'm watching them shine
(Christmas)
You should be here with me
(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
And all the fun we had last year
(Christmas)
If there was a way
(Christmas)
I'd hold back this tears
(Christmas)
But it's Christmas day
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
Oh comin' home
Oh babe
You know I need you
Oh comin' home
I gotta have you
You know I need you
(Love, love, love, love)
I gotta have you
I said nanananana...
It's Christmas, Christmas, Christmas... yeah

Meaning & Inspiration
Michael Bublé's rendition of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," released on December 5, 2017, taps into a profound emotional core that resonates deeply, especially during the Christmas season. While the song itself is not explicitly Christian in lyrical content, its underlying sentiment of longing for the return of a loved one during a time meant for togetherness offers a powerful parallel to the Christian narrative of anticipation and hopeful expectation. The core of the song expresses a yearning for presence, a desire to bridge distance, which can be thoughtfully interpreted through the lens of our faith.
The message of absence and the intense wish for reconciliation echoes the profound anticipation of believers for the return of Christ. The Bible speaks extensively about this coming day. In Romans 8:19, it is written, "For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God," highlighting a universal sense of expectation for a more complete presence. Similarly, the Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 1:7, describes believers as "waiting for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ," a testament to the enduring hope for His second coming. This fervent desire for reunion, for the absence to be filled, is precisely what Bublé captures. The song's plea for a loved one's return mirrors the spiritual yearning for God's presence to be fully realized in our lives and the world.
Furthermore, the story of Christmas itself is intrinsically linked to overcoming separation. The incarnation, God becoming flesh in the person of Jesus, was a divine act to bridge the infinite chasm between humanity and the divine, a profound answer to a spiritual longing for connection. The prophet Isaiah foretold this in Isaiah 9:6, proclaiming, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." This prophecy speaks of a coming presence that would fundamentally alter the state of separation and bring peace. Bublé’s performance, in its earnest delivery, amplifies this universal human experience of wanting those we care about near, particularly during seasons that emphasize home and family. The song, therefore, becomes an anthem not just for personal relationships but also for the deeper spiritual longing for the ultimate homecoming, for the fulfillment of God's promises that anticipate a time when separation will be no more, as described in Revelation 21:4: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." This hopeful anticipation of a reunited and perfected existence is beautifully, if indirectly, evoked by the song's poignant expression of absence and the passionate wish for togetherness.
