HOME- Mordechai Shapiro- Composed by Mordechai Shapiro & Yitzy Waldner, Lyrics by Miriam Israeli- Machar
VERSE 1:
Straighten my tie,
Tell them goodbye,
And there’s a small voice that cries, “Daddy, stay.”
But I must go
On with the show,
I have to wipe away the tears, ‘cause I know
That I’m gonna miss them so.
CHORUS 1:
And every time I leave again,
I leave a part of me right there at home with them,
And though I might be miles away,
A part of me will stay
Home;
That’s where I belong,
I can’t be gone too long,
I’m just waiting to come home.
VERSE 2:
Chasing a train,
Catching a plane,
‘Cause there’s so much I wanna share with the world.
It’s funny somehow
With people around
With all the music and the lights, I’m alone…
All I can think of is home.
CHORUS 2:
And every time I leave again,
I leave a part of me right there at home with them,
And though I might be miles away,
A part of me will stay
Home;
That’s where I belong,
I can’t be gone too long,
I’m just waiting to come home.
VERSE 3:
Walk in the door,
Feeling the warmth,
And there’s a sign, “Welcome back, Daddy dear”.
Children so pure,
Love that endures,
And now I wipe the tears of joy, ‘cause I know
That I’ve finally come home.
CHORUS 3:
And every time I leave again,
I leave a part of me right there at home with them,
And though I might be miles away,
A part of me will stay
Home;
That’s where I belong,
I can’t be gone too long,
I’m just waiting to come home.
