Please Come Home For Christmas

Interesting facts about Please Come Home For Christmas:

• Please Come Home For Christmas was written by local boy Charles Brown, who was born in Texas City, TX and taught high school chemistry in Baytown.
• The Eagles cover of the song is arguably the most popular version (so far. 😉 ) They only recorded it to get the record company off their back while they were recording The Long Run.
• It is the first Eagles release to feature bassist Timothy B. Schmit
• Don Henley knew of the song because he listened to WNOE out of New Orleans. (Coincidentally, our rhythm section is also out of New Orleans, and the influence can definitely be heard in our recording.)
• The song has been covered by any number of famous personages, including the Eagles, Bon Jovi, Nick Lachey, Willie Nelson, and Pat Benatar, just to name a few!

Bells will be ringin’ the sad, sad 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
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year’s night

Friends and relations
Send salutations
As sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas
Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the ones you love

So won’t you tell me
You will never more roam
Christmas and New Year will find you home

There’ll be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I’ll be happy, happy once again

Oh, there’ll be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I’ll be happy at Christmas once again

Oh, there’ll be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I’ll be happy at Christmas once again
