Please Come Home

Uncle Kracker · 72 & Sunny [2004]

It must have been about a 100 years

At least a hundred years

I wish you would just come back

Just come back home



The day we met feels like 100 years ago

And I'm still waiting with my hand right by the telephone

Yeah maybe where you are you cannot make that call

Or you can't find the pen I know it's not your fault



CHORUS

My friends think I'm insane

'Cause I've turned old and gray

And I'm still waiting and I cannot be alone

Please come home (please come home)



I watch the clock hands tick my hours turn to days

And I can't fall asleep 'cause I don't want to miss that ring

I know that this year your car will park outside

But I can't put my arms around the girl who took my life



REPEAT CHORUS



It's been so long

It's been about 100 years

And a million dreams since the last time

I've seen your pretty face I would do whatever it takes

I would wait another 100 years

And if that didn't work

Maybe I'll try and see what forever feels like

But until then and I know you hear me

And whatever your doing wherever you are please come home



That day we met feels like 100 years ago

And I'm still waiting for you

Baby baby won't you please come home

Please come home

Won't you please come home

Please come home

Won't you please come home (Please come home)
