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,

When She Gave Me The Phone I Could Hear Momma Say,

"I'm So Sorry, Son, Though I Think You're So Brave,"

She Was Smilin' When She Said,



*Chorus*

"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

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

Found A Letter From Momma Tucked In My Coat

As I Flew Down The Runway I Smiled When She Wrote,

"I'll Miss You Son, You'll Be So Far Away

I'll Be Waiting For The Day..."



*Chorus*

"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

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" Then Turned Away

But I Stopped At The Door When I Heard Momma Say

"I Love You Son, But They're Callin' Me Away.

Promise Me Before I Go..."



*Chorus*

"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

I Will Be Here

When You Come Home"
