Come
and talk of all the things
we did today
Here
and laugh about
our funny little ways
while we have a few
minutes to breathe
Then I'll know that
it's time you must leave
But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait
an extra minute
if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
it's not just these few
hours but I've been
waiting since I toddled
For the great relief
of having you
to talk to
And now
a quarter of my life
is almost past
I think I've come
to see myself at last
and I see that the time
spent confused
Was the time
that I spent
without you
and I feel myself
in bloom
But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait
an extra minute
if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
it's not just these few
hours but I've been
waiting since I toddled
For the great relief
of having you
to talk to
So darling
darling be home soon
couldn't bear to wait
an extra minute
if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
it's not just these few
hours but I've been
waiting since I toddled
For the great relief
of having you
to talk to
Go
and beat your crazy head
against the sky
Try
and see beyond
the houses
and your eyes
It's okay
to shoot the moon
Darling be home soon
couldn't bear to wait
an extra minute
if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
it's not just these few
hours but I've been
waiting since I toddled
For the great relief
of having you
to talk to
