Lyrics
VS 1
With misty eyes I try to see the tattered photograph
Hoping that my heart won't lose memories from the past
Like the times when the phone would ring at the end of the day
It's the love of my life and I would hear her say,
CHORUS
Come on home there's a fire burning bright
Come on home there's a table set for two
Come on home everything's gonna be alright
"Cause you know that I've been waiting just for you - Come on home
VS 2
She used to know me oh so well not so long ago
But now her mind has taken her to a place of her own
How I wish that I could meet her there so I could help her see
Just how much I want to say to her, like she used to say to me
VS 3
I've never been the kind of man to put much thought to faith
When it comes to life on earth and life beyond the grave
But I believe that God was there in room 14 that day
And when she breathed her last good bye I think she heard him say
