Chris Rice - Home Tonight lyrics

I've come to my senses

How did I get so far from home

The lies dissipating

Revealing I'm so alone

And I remember now how strong love can be

And I wonder how did I ever leave

Burn your fire on the altar

Leave a candle on the porch

I'm still too far away to see it

But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome

But still I hear your song inside

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight

Sing it loud now, ‘cause I'm comin' home tonight

This isn't the first time

I've wandered away from home before

You'd have every reason

To slam and dead-bolt the door

But I remember now how strong your love can be

And I wonder how you might welcome me

Burn your fire on the altar

Leave a candle on the porch

I'm still too far away to see it

But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome

But still I hear your song inside

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight

Sing it loud now, ‘cause I'm comin' home tonight
