When You Come Home Lyrics

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 mama
To say I'd be late
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear mama say,
I'm so sorry, son
Oh I think you're so brave
And she was smiling 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
And I will be here
C Fsus - F - Bb - Bb minor
When you come home
Verse Two:
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 mama
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway
I smiled when she wrote
I miss you son
You'll be so far away
But I'll be waiting for the day
(Chorus)
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 mama say
I love you son
But they're callin' me away
Promise me before I go
(Chorus)
