When You Come Home Lyrics

When You Come Home lyrics

First day of recess, they all laughed at me
when I fell off the swing set and
scraped up my knee.
The nurse called my momma to say I'd be late,
when she
gave me the phone I could hear momma say,
"I'm so sorry, son, though I
think you're so brave,"
she was smilin' when she
said,

*Chorus*
"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
I will be here
When you come home"

I waved good-bye
through the window as I boarded the plane
my first job in Houston was
waiting for me
Found a letter from momma tucked in my coat
as I flew down
the runway I smiled when she wrote,
"I'll miss you son, you'll be so far
away
I'll be waiting for the day..."

*Chorus*
"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
I will be here
When you come
home"

"I don't think she can hear you now," the doctor
told me.
"Your mother is fading. It's best that you leave."
so
I whispered "I love you" then turned away
but I stopped at the
door when I heard momma say
"I love you son, but they're callin' me
away.
Promise me before I go..."

*Chorus*
"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
I will be here
When you come
home"
