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 Momma
To say I'd be late
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear Momma say
"I'm so sorry, son.
Oh I think you're so brave"
And she was smiling when she said:
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
When you come home
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 Momma
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway,I smiled when she wrote
"I'll miss you, son
You'll be so far away
And I'll be waiting for the day
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
When you come home"
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 Momma say
"I love you, son
But they're calling me away
And promise me before I go
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
When you come home
When you come home..."
