  • (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
    'Cause 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
    'Cause 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 tear
    (Christmas) but it's Christmas day
    (Please) please (please), please
    (Please) please (please), please
    (Please) please (please), please
    (Please) baby, please come home

    (Christmas) baby, please come home
    (Christmas) baby, please come home
    (Christmas) baby, please come home
    (Christmas) oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    (Christmas) I need you, I need you
    (Christmas) please come home

  • Mississippi from FloridaJust so you know Coy Lisa Layne did the song "All I want for Christmas is you" She sang it with the group Vince Vance and the valiants. Don't know who wrote it but I know it wasn't Maria Carey she just plagerized it! Google it and check it out.!
  • Sally Sue from TulsaThis song was used in more movies than this, but sung by other people. The Mistletones had it as the ending song.
  • Coy from Palestine, Texasthis is the song Mariah Caray ripped off to write "All I want for Christmas is You"
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn May 8, 1963, Darlene Love performed "(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'...
    At the time the song was at #39 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart and that was also it's peak position on the Top 100, it spent 8 weeks on the chart...
    She had three other Top 100 records; "Wait Til' My Bobby Gets Home" {#26 in 1963}, "A Fine Fine Boy" {#53 in 1963}, and "All Alone on Christmas" {#83 in 1992}...
    As a member of a group she made the Top 100 six times; with the Blossoms, "Son-In-Law" {#79 in 1961}, with Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans, "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" {#8 in 1962}, "Why Do Lovers Break Each Others Heart?" {#38 in 1963}, and "Not Too Young to Get Married" {#63 in 1963}, and with the Crystals, "He's A Rebel" {#1 in 1962} and "He's Sure the Boy I Love" {#11 in 1962}...
    Ms. Love, born Darlene Wright, will celebrate her 76th birthday this coming July 26th {2017}.
  • Robert from London, United KingdomThis Spector album is still played every year on ÚK radio and in shops and is the perfect combination of Anglo-American Christmas cultural glit and Spector's distinctive sound. Darlene Love had, and still has,the most powerful and underrated voice of all those girls (including Ronnie and Tina) yet remains fairly unknown to the public in the UK, partly as we are not blessed with the David Letterman Christmas performance (well worth a look on YouTube ).Magic!
  • Mary from Phoenix, AzDarlene Love plays Danny Glover's wife in all four of the "Lethal Weapon" movies.
  • Teresa from Mechelen, BelgiumA very good song that Phil Spector has written with his friends Ellie Greenwich and Jef Barry. I have the Christmas cd of Phil Spector in his cd-box "Back to Mono". It's not just another Christmas record, it's very original and you can hear the "Wall of Sound". I love it, I love Phil Spector, he's just great, a pure music talent like there are not many others.
