Kelly Brianne Clarkson (Fort Worth, 24 de abril de 1982) é uma cantora e compositora, ocasionalmente atriz, de origem norte-americana. Atingiu a fama em 2002, após vencer a primeira temporada do reality show American Idol. Seu single de estreia, "A Moment Like This", alcançou a primeira posição da Billboard Hot 100 nos Estados Unidos e na época quebrou o recorde de maior salto para o topo do gráfico musical, além de ter sido o mais vendido do ano naquele país. No ano seguinte, ela tornou-se a vice-campeã do World Idol. Ao longo da carreira, foi nomeada em dez categorias ao Grammy Awards, vencendo três delas.

"Please Come Home for Christmas" is a Christmas song, released in 1960, by the American blues singer and pianist Charles Brown. Hitting Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in December 1961, the tune Brown co-wrote with Gene Redd peaked at position #76. It appeared on the Christmas Singles chart for nine seasons, hitting #1 in 1972. 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", which are the first four words of the song.

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"

Christmas carols

By candlelight

Please come home for christmas

Baby 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

It's christmas yea

It's christmas

The time of year

To be, with the one you love

Then won't you tell me

You'll never more roam

Christmas and new year's

Will find you home

There'll be no more sorrow

No grief no pain

Then I'll be happy, happy

Once again

There'll be no more sorrow

No grief and pain

Then I'll be happy

Christmas

Once again
