Darling Be Home Soon Lyrics
Hear and laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
And I know that it's time you must leave
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
This song reminds me of when I'm home from work and my husband comes walking through the door. I'm (usually) so happy to see him... to talk... to reconnect with each other. In our busy lives, we only have so much time for each other, so those little moments mean a lot. The song, I believe, also examines how wonderful it is to finally find someone to connect with:
"And I see that the time spent confused, Was the time that I spent without you,"
We feel so empty until we finally find that one special person we can be ourselves with.
This is probably one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard. My favorite is the version John Sebastian sang at Woodstock, but I also love the Spoonful's studio version. And seek out Mama Cass's version -- it's spectacular.
It strikes me that it's far too rare to find a love song where the praise is being directed at something other than the loved one's physical attractiveness. I love that he's looking forward to the conversation he'll have with her when she gets home.
@sharkycharming My beautiful second wife Valentina (first wife Betsy died seven years ago, 2008) has been forced to be on the road almost non-stop for the past three months as I write this, with few stops at home in between. This song rings so true for me.
