When You Come Home

<p>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/>The nurse called my Momma<br/>To say I&#x27;d be late<br/>And when she gave me the phone<br/>I could hear Momma say<br/>I&#x27;m so sorry, son<br/>Oh I think you&#x27;re so brave<br/>And she was smiling when she said<br/><br/>*Chorus*<br/>When you come home<br/>No matter how far<br/>Run through the door and into my arms<br/>It&#x27;s where you are loved<br/>It&#x27;s where you belong<br/>And I will be here<br/>When you come home<br/>I waved good-bye through the window<br/>As I boarded the plane<br/>My first job in Houston was waiting for me<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 miss you son<br/>You&#x27;ll be so far away<br/>But I&#x27;ll be waiting for the day<br/><br/>*Chorus*<br/><br/>Well I don&#x27;t think she can hear you now<br/>The doctor told me<br/>Your mother is fading<br/>It&#x27;s best that you leave<br/>So I whispered 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&#x27;re callin&#x27; me away<br/>Promise me before I go<span><br/><br/>*Chorus*
