Darling Be Home Soon

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,
Then I know that it's time you must leave.

But darling, be home soon.
I couldn't bear to wait,
An extra minute if you dawdled.
My darling, be home soon.
It's not just these few hours,
But I've been waiting since I toddled,
For the great relief of having you to talk to.

And now, a quarter of my life is almost past.
I think I've come to see myself at last.
And I see that the time spent confused,
Was the time that I spent without you.
And I feel myself in bloom.

So, darling, be home soon.
I couldn't bear to wait,

An extra minute if you dawdled.
My darling, be home soon.
It's not just these few hours,
But I've been waiting since I toddled,
For the great relief of having you to talk to.

[Instrumental break.]

So, darling, my darling, be home soon.
I couldn't bear to wait,
An extra minute if you dawdled.
My darling, be home soon.
It's not just these few hours,
But I've been waiting since I toddled,
For the great relief of having you to talk to.

Go and beat your crazy head against the sky.
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes.
It's OK to shoot the moon.

Darling, be home soon.
I couldn't bear to wait,
An extra minute if you dawdled.
My darling, be home soon.
It's not just these few hours,
But I've been waiting since I toddled,
For the great relief of having you to talk to.
