When You Come Home - Billy Gilman

Composed by：Mark Schultz

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 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
