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 so 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 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
