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"
