Hughes Donna - Almost Home lyrics

Loaded up the car and said goodbye

Looked at that old school one last time

No more homework and tears

And I'll miss the friends that I made here

Chorus: But I'm almost home, where they meet you with a smile and open arms

I'm almost home, where you never see a stranger and folks know who you are

I'm almost home, where I'll be welcomed like a star

I've been waiting for the day and I've been dreaming of your face

and I'm almost home

Went to serve his country far away

In a land where all the skies were grey

Letters froze the pain in time

Late at night he wrote while he cried

I'm almost home, where they meet you with a smile and open arms

I'm almost home, where you never see a stranger and folks know who you are

I'm almost home, where I'll be welcomed like a star

I'll be waiting for the day and I'll be dreaming of your face

and Im almost home

She saw her father in the room

She said her time was coming soon

I couldn't see him anywhere

But I knew she saw him standing there

She was smiling up at me

She put her hand on my knee

Took a breath and closed her eyes

She was singing while I cried

I'm almost home, where my Savior waits with open arms

I'm almost home, where I'll never meet a stranger and loved ones never part

I'm almost home, where I'll be welcomed like a star

I've been waiting for the day and I've been dreaming of your face

and Im almost home
