Come
And talk of all the things we did today
Here
And laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
And I know that it's time you must leave

Oh but darling be home soon
I couldn't stand to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
Oh darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
And the great relief is having you to talk to

And now
A quarter of my life's already past
And I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the times I've been confused
Were the times that I spent without you

Oh but darling be home soon
I couldn't stand to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
Oh darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
And the great relief is having you to talk to

So go
And beat your crazy head against the sky
Try
And see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot for the moon
And I feel myself in bloom

Oh but darling be home soon
I couldn't stand to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
Oh darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
And the great relief is having you to talk to
And the great relief is having you to talk to
