Until You Come Home
© Copyright 2006 John M. Anderson
You heard the call
Promised to give your all
I know it’s what you had to do
I was afraid
Putting off the plans we made
But I’m still very proud of you
A desert wind
Swept you half-a-world away
Now all I can do
Is kneel down to pray and
I’ll keep the light on
The front porch brightly-burnin’
Throughout the day
And every night for you
I’ll let it shine
So I won’t feel alone
I’ll keep it burnin’ baby
Until the day you come home
By early light
My thoughts start a-wandering
From morning chores to troubled shores
Then late at night
I dream you’re walking down the road
It wakes me up, as you reach the door
Only heaven knows
What you’re going through
But here at home’s where
I promise you
Promised to give your all
I know it’s what you had to do
I was afraid
Putting off the plans we made
But I’m still very proud of you
A desert wind
Swept you half-a-world away
Now all I can do
Is kneel down to pray and
I’ll keep the light on
The front porch brightly-burnin’
Throughout the day
And every night for you
I’ll let it shine
So I won’t feel alone
I’ll keep it burnin’ baby
Until the day you come home
By early light
My thoughts start a-wandering
From morning chores to troubled shores
Then late at night
I dream you’re walking down the road
It wakes me up, as you reach the door
Only heaven knows
What you’re going through
But here at home’s where
I promise you
I’ll keep the light on
The front porch brightly-burnin’
Throughout the day
And every night for you
I’ll let it shine
So I won’t feel alone
I’ll keep it burnin’ baby
Until the day you come home
Never-ending days
And nights I wish that would
What’s a soldier’s bride supposed to do?
It’s been almost a year
I wish that you were here
Today our little girl turned two
We’ll keep the light on
The front porch brightly-burnin’
Throughout the day
And every night for you
We’ll let it shine
So we won’t feel alone
We’ll keep it burnin’ baby
Until the day you come home
The front porch brightly-burnin’
Throughout the day
And every night for you
I’ll let it shine
So I won’t feel alone
I’ll keep it burnin’ baby
Until the day you come home
Never-ending days
And nights I wish that would
What’s a soldier’s bride supposed to do?
It’s been almost a year
I wish that you were here
Today our little girl turned two
We’ll keep the light on
The front porch brightly-burnin’
Throughout the day
And every night for you
We’ll let it shine
So we won’t feel alone
We’ll keep it burnin’ baby
Until the day you come home
