The telegram this morning,
you phoned so far away. 1
You only wrote two single words.
"Coming home."
I didn't understand,
until I read your name.
I've been alone so very long,
since you just ran away.
But, I have always dreamed of you
coming home.
You know I need you so
after all this time.
Oh, come on home to me.
Darling you will see
no one's wrong.
Come on home.
Come on home.
{woman/spoken}
Darling, I don't have the courage to write you a letter or call you on the phone.
I can't find the right words to tell you
that my venture's over now.
And, I realize I left the land and you - the only love of my life, and I want to come back.
I hope you can forgive me.
I'm coming home.
Oh darling come on home to me.
Our love will never die.
Those little words mean everything -
"Coming home."
That's all you need to say.
I'm waiting here for you.
You know I'm still in love with you
although it's been a long long time.
Come on home.
I think of you all the time!
Come on home!
Come on home.
Come on home.
Come on home!
