Please Come Home for ChristmasJohn Legend

Released: October 26, 2018

Songwriter: Charles Brown Gene Redd

Producer: Raphael Saadiq

Bells will be ringing the glad glad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing "Silent Night"
Oh, Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas

If not for Christmas by New Years night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
Oh this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear

The time of year to be with the ones you love
Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief, no pain

Because I'll be happy, happy once again
Oh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, Christmas once again
Mmm, yeah, ah, ah, yeah
No more sorrow, no grief, no pain
Because it's Christmas, Christmas once again
Oh, friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
Oh this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear
The time of the year to be with the one you love
Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief, no pain
Because it's Christmas, Christmas once again

John Legend

John Legend was born in 1978 in Ohio. He became an in-demand session musician and songwriter, working with such artists as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West, and the two musicians collaborated on one another’s demos.

J. Ivy claims credit for bestowing the “Legend” moniker upon John Stephens (with an assist from Kanye West). Via

Kanye was like, ‘Have you heard of this singer called John Stephens?’ He played me this song from him, that I think will.i.am produced. It was so refreshing and soulful. An hour later, John Stephens comes into the studio. I told him, ‘I heard your music. It’s so amazing. It sounds old school. Man, you sound like one of the legends. You’re a legend. Matter of fact, that’s what I am going to call you from now The Legend. A couple days later, we were in the lounge of the studio (Record Plant) and John Stephens walks in and everyone shouts him out. I was like, ‘John Legend!’ Kanye then said, ‘You’re John Legend from now on. That’s your name!’”
