Billy Gilman - When You Come Home lyrics

rate me

<br>

My first day of recess<br />

They all laughed at me<br />

When I fell off the swing set<br />

And scraped up my knee<br />

<br />

The nurse called my Momma<br />

To say I'd be late,<br />

And when she gave me the phone<br />

I could hear Momma say<br />

"I'm so sorry, son.<br />

Oh I think you're so brave"<br />

<br />

And she was smiling when she said:<br />

<br />

When you come home,<br />

No matter how far,<br />

Run through the door<br />

And into my arms<br />

It's where you are loved,<br />

It's where you belong<br />

And I will be here<br />

When you come home<br />

<br />

I waved good-bye through the window<br />

As I boarded the plane<br />

My first job in Houston<br />

Was waiting for me<br />

<br />

I found a letter from Momma<br />

Tucked in my coat<br />

And as I flew down the runway<br />

I smiled when she wrote:<br />

I'll miss you, son,<br />

You'll be so far away<br />

<br />

And I'll be waiting for the day<br />

<br />

When you come home<br />

No matter how far,<br />

Run through the door<br />

And into my arms<br />

It's where you are loved,<br />

It's where you belong,<br />

And I will be here<br />

When you come home<br />

<br />

I don't think<br />

She can hear you now,<br />

The doctor told me<br />

Your mother is fading,<br />

It's best that you leave<br />

<br />

So I whispered,<br />

I love you<br />

And then turned away.<br />

But I stopped at the door<br />

When I heard Momma say,<br />

I love you, son,<br />

But they're calling me away<br />

<br />

And promise me before I go<br />

<br />

When you come home,<br />

No matter how far,<br />

Run through the door<br />

And into my arms;<br />

It's where you are loved,<br />

It's where you belong,<br />

And I will be here<br />

When you come home,<br />

When you come home.
