I'm Coming Home

what a long time has passed since i wrote a song for you. i realize it's hard for me to write songs when i'm happy, when lots of things are happening, when we're busy living life. but once in a while things happen around me that make me take a step back and discover again just how much you mean to me, and i thank God for touching our lives with each other.

you make me look forward to each new day, and then look forward even more to coming back home. i pray i will never take you for granted, and that i will always have a song to sing for you.


it's been raining since the morning
and it isn't getting better
think i'm catching a cold
i'm slipping underneath the weather
but it doesn't really matter
cos i'm coming home to you

i'm the last one to leave
and everybody's had their dinner
i'm not hungry anymore
and after all it's past eleven
and it really doesn't matter
cos i'm coming home to you

i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home to you

the taxi's don't stop
could it be that i'm invisible
decided to walk
i think that it might just be possible
that sometime in the morning
i'll be coming home to you

i think you must have gone to bed
i wonder if i'm in your head
and i can't wait
to come back home to you

i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home to you

nothing in the world can bring me down now
nothing in the past or the days to come
cos nothing makes me smile
like the way you smile at me

nothing in the world can bring me down now
nothing in the past or the days to come
and nothing can conspire
to make me happier

i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home to you

though the daylight's gone
but it won't be long
till i come back home to you

come out and play

don't just stay here in the corner of the room
please come out and play
i wanna hear you sing

about the rain, about the summer
about the wind, about the flowers
there's so much to see
if you just come with me

and i will hold your hand
you know that home is where
the heart is you and me
we'll be wild and free

in the night
we'll be bright lights
though we be blind
we'll be alright

when there's a storm
there'll be rainbows after
all is said and done
we'll be heroes everyone

so don't be afraid to let it go
let's run into the wind and let it
blow your mind
it's more beautiful
than you'll ever know

and don't be shy just let it show
your heart is a book don't let it
close inside
there're nothing you have to hide

for i will find you
if life forgets you
so don't you worry
there's no hurry it's hardly
closer to the morning
the stars are shining
and though it's cold outside
i'll be right beside you

so don't just stay here
in the corner of the room
please come out and play
i wanna hear you sing

when you wake

i look into your bedroom door
and i don't make a sound
i see you curled up in your blanket
with that peaceful smile

sleep my little child
and the world can't do you harm
sleep my little child
and tomorrow will be a charm
and when you wake
i will be around

there's so many things i wanna say to you
but just so little time
seems like yesterday you were still learning to walk but
now it's time to fly


sleep my little child
and the world can't do you harm
sleep my little child
and tomorrow will be a charm
and when you wake
i will be around

to watch you fly
to watch you fly
away across the sky
and when the nights they grow cold
you know where to go
when you feel all alone
you can always come home

where you'll be
safe and sound
and when you wake
i will be around

For my lovely wife
