Come and talk of all the things we did today
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

But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdle
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I've toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now a quarter of my life is almost passed
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Is the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdle
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I've toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Soon [x2]

So darling, my darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdle
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I've toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

So go and beat your crazy head against the sky
Try and see beyond the houses in your eyes
It's okay to shoot the moon

Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdle
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours
But I've been waiting since I've toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
