Lyrics
BABY WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME
Words & Music by Roger Bolt
It's a silver dollar moon and your not here
I'm empty and alone with a 10 mile stare
And the night bird sings a solitary song,
The night's so long
That hollow place inside is colored deep blue
Without you I'm alone, no matter what I do
So baby please, baby won't you please come home
Chorus;
Memories still linger, angry words so unkind
I must have been clearly right out of my mind
But now your gone, alone I still remain
I pray to dear God I can hold you again
Lead break x2
Chorus
Verse 2
In some other life your love was my own
Losing you cuts so deeply, right down to the bone.
And I'm all messed up just think'n bout you...
What am I gonna do.
Well the night bird's gone and the sun is on the rise
Cherish your love and take a word from the wise
So baby please, baby won't you please come home
I'm all alone
