He's Home For A Little While

Duke Ellington · Other Songs - Duke Ellington

He's home for a little while

He's mine once again

No need to tell, but it feels simply swell

With him close to me

Where he's supposed to be

He's home for a little while

I lived for his kiss; I hit the skies

When he looks in my eyes

And my knees grow weak with bliss

He's sort of changed

He's kind of different

From the boy I used to know a while ago

Strange how much he says without a word

And when he holds my hand I understand

I'm his, but for ever more

He's mine, mine alone

We'll have to part

But he's close to my heart

For the little while he's home
