Far from the Home I Love lyrics - Fiddler on the Roof Cast

How can I hope to make you understand

Why I do, what I do,

Why I must travel to a distant land

Far from the home I love?

Once I was happily content to be

As I was, where I was

Close to the people who are close to me

Here in the home I love...

Who could see that a man would come

Who would change the shape of my dreams?

Helpless, now, I stand with him

Watching older dreams grow dim.

Oh, what a melancholy choice this is,

Wanting home, wanting him,

Closing my heart to every hope but his,

Leaving the home I love.

There where my heart has settled long ago,

I must go, I must go.

Who could imagine I'd be wand'ring so

Far from the home I love?

Yet, there with my love, I'm home.
