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,
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 home
I waved good-bye through the window
As I boarded the plane,
My first job in Houston
Was waiting for me
I 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 away
But I'll be waiting for the day
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 home
Well, 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
And 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
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 home,
When you come home.
My 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, 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 home I waved good-bye through the window As I boarded the plane, My first job in Houston Was waiting for me I 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 away But I'll be waiting for the day 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 home Well, 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 And 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 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 home, When you come home.
