Lyrics
YOU'RE COMING HOME
I felt so lost, alone
Knowing you were far from home,
Worried sick about the unknown, searching for you.
Writing letters day and night,
Sending them with love and with fright,
Finally got the letter I held tight,
And then I knew...
You're coming home, at last.
Time for us to sing and dance.
Now we have our second chance to build a life together.
I'm gonna hold you tight,
Never let you out of sight,
Making all the wrong things right and loving you forever.
I know you've felt alone, always being far from home,
Lost in a world of unknown, but soon you'll be through.
You're coming home, at last.
Time for us to sing and dance.
Now we have our second chance to build a life together.
I'm gonna hold you tight,
Never let you out of sight,
Making all the wrong things right and loving you forever.
I can't imagine where you've been
The world you've seen - what you carry within.
I only know that I'm so very proud of you.
I hope to heal your hurting heart
And make this life our brand new start.
I hope you know that - hope you know that - I love you.
You're coming home, at last.
Time for us to sing and dance.
Now we have our second chance to build a life together.
I'm gonna hold you tight,
Never let you out of sight,
Making all the wrong things right ...
You're coming home at last.
