"Come Home" Lyrics

I looked out across the field
At the sundown gold
Don't feel so young anymore
But sure don't feel old

And I remember you as a child
Running 'round free
You would play through the day into night time
Till you could not see

[Chorus: ]
Come home, come home
Night is falling but the lights are on
Come home, come home
Night is falling and it won't be long
I'll turn my head
And you'll be grown

I stood in the dark, by the window
Lookin' for your lights
I sleep better knowing everybody's home
And everybody's alright

Just one of those things that happens
When you care so much
And you pray to keep from worryin'
Then you worry you ain't prayin' enough

[Chorus: ]

We are all just children, even your momma and me
And everybody gone before us
From this family
But God, the good, good Father watches
Those He calls His own
And one day when we're through growin'
He's gonna call us home (and he'll say)

Come home, come home
Night is falling but the lights goes on
Come home, come home
Night had fallin' and it's been so long
Since we've been together
Gonna be here forever
Come home, come on home
