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 Id be late,
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear Momma say
"Im so sorry, son.
Oh I think youre so brave"
And she was smilin when she said:
When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
Its where you are loved,
Its 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:
Ill miss you, son,
Youll be so far away
But Ill be waiting for the day
When you come home
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
Its where you are loved,
Its where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home
Well, I dont think
She can hear you now,
The doctor told me
Your mother is fading,
Its 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 theyre callin me away
Promise me before I go
When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms;
Its where you are loved,
Its where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home,
When you come home.
