It's Christmas
Baby, please come home
Yeah

(Christmas) The snow's coming down
(Christmas) I'm watching it fall
(Christmas) Watching the people around
(Christmas) Baby, please come home

(Christmas) The church bells in town
(Christmas) They're ringing a song
(Christmas) What a happy sound
(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 'em shine
(Christmas) You should be here with me
(Christmas) Baby, please come home

Baby, please come home
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 these tears
(Christmas) But it's Christmas day
(Christmas) Baby, please come home

(Christmas) Oh
(Christmas)
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Oh
(Christmas) Baby, please come home
(Christmas) Baby, please come home

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
