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
Oh, but darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
Hey, my darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since you toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
And now a quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom
Oh, 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 but I've been waiting since you toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Yeah
Oh, my darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled, yeah
Oh, my darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since you toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's okay to shoot the moon
Oh, my darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
Ehh, my darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since you toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
For the great relief of having you to talk to
For the great relief of having you to talk to
