Mark Schultz - When You Come Home lyrics

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 so sorry, son

Oh, I think you're' so brave"

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

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

Well, 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

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
