Won'T You Come Home To Me

Won't you come home to me I've... been waiting, here so long While... I wait... I write this song Visions... of our love, play in my mind Waiting... for you... just killing time Thoughts... of you... bring me to tears All those... precious moments... through the years Since... you've gone... I don't know what to do with... my plan ...of growing old with you Chorus My love... won't you come home to me? living without you, is such misery... My love... you're the best part of me... please come home and ease this pain! What... has happened ...to our love? I always... thought...you were the one I can't... picture me...without you when... I look around...I see it's true I pray... that you...will find your way back home why should... we spend our lives all alone? I know... that you feel ...I've been untrue believe that... I've been saving my love for you, and only you Chorus My love... won't you come home to me? living without you, is such misery... My love... you're the best part of me... please come home and ease this pain! repeat chorus and fade John Derek Hamilton October 24,2017

Thanks Becca, I went to see her today, she wasn't interested in a visit, so it's kind of demoralizing, but here's to hoping she comes around. I enjoy your friendly visits, take care!

Beautifully written John such emotion, such sadness. You really are one of the best song writers in this site, and I know how difficult it is to write a song. Any progress with your dear one?...Maria

Thanks for your kind words Maria, my wife is progressing slowly so at least there is some hope, but I fear it will take a long long time!

Another one that could be a fine sad melody or even a country song. You are filling up an album of songs by now,John. It was nice reading about you over at Becca's blog. Tommy informed me you are of his same religion. I don't think I knew that. I learn something new every day here!!

Yeah, I kind of envisioned this as a country tune, you've got a good eye/ear for music. Yeah there are actually 5 JW's on this site, so it seems to be a good fit for us. Thanks for your kind and encouraging words.

John, I just noticed you had seen the tribute to Daver, as written by John Flemming. Wasn't that amazing? Let me check out your latest song now.

Thanks SO, it's 2 months now, and there's no end in sight, I've just got to be patient, I guess.
