John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Come Home Baby

Come home baby


Thinking back...         
over my lifetime
mistakes I've made,
I realize...

so much pain ,       
my life's in tatters...
it come's as no surprise

Now I know...
I'll wait a lifetime,
four score years,
if you're the prize...

take your time,
I know you're hurting...
this time, 
I'll dry your eyes

Chorus

There's one thing I know (I know)
I want you to come home baby
(I know) I want you home to stay
There's one thing I know (I know)
I want you to come home baby
(I know) I want you home to stay


Looking back...
I see it clearly,
you needed,
so much more from me

Give me time...
just be patient
I'll be all,
you need me to be

bridge
I want you home to stay!
I want you home to stay!

Go to chorus

Think about...
the lonely night time
why should we,
spend it all alone?

Think of us...
We need each other
Why don't you
please come home?

chorus repeat
fade

Joanna Daniel October 27, 2016 at 1:15 AM I agree with Daniel, this is truly one of your best, John:) do you compose music for all your lyrics, John?? John Hamilton October 27, 2016 at 9:06 AM Some songs have music others not yet, working on the lyrics for now. Thanks Jo

Daniel Turner October 25, 2016 at 3:56 PM John, you're quite the lyricist. This is one of your best, i think:) John Hamilton October 25, 2016 at 4:34 PM Thanks Daniel, yeah, sometimes they feel good as they flow out so easy, songs are easier for me than poetry, not a big fan of structured writes, but I do them to give myself more discipline.
