Lyrics
1. I am writing you this letter,
To let you know we're ok.
It's been months since you've been gone,
And it seems like time just stood still.
Pre-Chorus:
When will I see your face again,
And hold your hand as we walk?
I keep you dear in my prayers each night.
Just then the dog barks;
There was a knock.
Chorus:
Welcome home, you've been gone for so long.
Welcome home, you're not alone.
My heart goes out to the loves that were lost.
My darling, welcome home.
2. I got your letter about your friend.
I'm sorry for his loss.
I want you home soon cause it's so scary,
Being alone without you.
Pre-Chorus:
The baby looks just like you.
I see your smile when he laughs.
Can't wait till he meets his daddy.
Just then the dog barks,
And there's a knock.
Repeat Chorus 2X with last line 2X at end of 2nd chorus.
