When You Come Home

When You Come Home Lyrics

My first day of recess They all laughed at me When I fell off the swing set And scr*ped up my kneeThe nurse called my Momma To say I'd be late, And when she gave me the phone I could hear Momma say "I'm so sorry, son. Oh I think you're' so brave"And she was smilin when she said:When you come home, No matter how far, Run through the door And into my arms It's where you are loved, It's where you belong And I will be here When you come homeI waved good-bye through the window As I boarded the plane, My first job in Houston Was waiting for meI found a letter from Momma Tucked in my coat And as I flew down the runway I smiled when she wrote: I'll miss you, son, You'll be so far awayBut I'll be waiting for the dayWhen you come home No matter how far, Run through the door And into my arms It's where you are loved, It's where you belong, And I will be here When you come homeWell, I don't think She can hear you now, The doctor told me Your mother is fading, It's best that you leaveSo I whispered, I love you And then turned away. But I stopped at the door When I heard Momma say, I love you, son, But they're callin me awayPromise me before I goWhen you come home, No matter how far, Run through the door And into my arms; It's where you are loved, It's where you belong, And I will be here When you come home, When you come home.
