Lyrics
HOME TOGETHER
© 2016 Dennis W Long
Turn on the porch light, put on the coffee
It's going to be a delight to hold you all again
Flying down the freeway, anticipating
Those big ol' smiles we haven't seen a while
CHORUS:
Nothing's quite like coming home
(home, home, home together)
I light up when I see the sign
(home, home, home together)
Nothing feels like coming home
(home, home, home together)
We're coming home
It's good to see your faces, smiling in the real world
Smelling those home smells, goes right to my soul
We'll talk about the old times, old friends and places
The stories get more dear each time they're told
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I don't come back as much as I'd like to
So much of life gets in the way
But that doesn't mean that I don't think of you
Every day
Everybody's older, time waits for no one
There was always some reason, I couldn't make it home
Everybody gather 'round, and smile for the camera
As we stand here arm in arm
We know we'll be too far away too soon
