DARLING BE HOME SOON
By: The Barra MacNeils
 
Come and talk of all the things we did today
Hear and laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to  breathe.
And I know that it's time you must leave.
But Darling be home soon.
It's not just these few hours,
I've been waiting since I toddled.
For the great relief of having you to talk to.
 
Now a quarter of my life has almost passed
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Is the time that I've spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom.
But Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled.
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours,
I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to.
 
Go beat your crazy head against the sky
Try to see beyond the houses in your eyes
It's OK to shoot the moon,
But, Darling, be home soon.
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled.
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours, 
I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
