Album: Machar

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 ‘cuz I know
That I’m gonna miss them soAnd 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

Chasing a train
Catching a plane
‘Cuz 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

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

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 ‘cuz I know
That I’ve finally come home

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
