"Please Come Home for Christmas" is a Christmas song written by American blues singer Charles Brown & Gene Redd. Released in 1960, it includes a number of characteristics of Christmas music, such as multiple references in the lyrics to the Christmas season and Christmas traditions, and the use of a Church bell type sound, created using a piano, at the start of the song. It is sometimes referred to as Bells Will Be Ringing.

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 hmm 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
Sure as the stars shine above,
Because it's Christmas, yes Christmas my dear.
The time of year to be with the one you love.

Dear, won't you tell me you'll never go wrong.
Christmas and New Year's will find you home.
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain,
'Cause I'll be happy, happy once again.

Mmmmm, no more sorrow, no grief and pain,
'Cause I'll be happy Christmas once again.
