My first day of recess
They all laughed at me
When I fell off the swing set
And scraped up my knee
The nurse called my Momma
To say Id be late
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear Momma say
'Im so sorry, son
Oh I think youre so brave'
And she was smilin when she said
[04:02.31][03:35.77][02:40.62][02:13.99][01:25.62][00:58.92]When you come home
[02 :16.92][01:02.00]No matter how far
[02:20.62][01:05.59]Run through the door
[02:23.00][01:07.87]And into my arms
[ 02:27.09][01:12.05]Its where you are loved
[02:30.49][01:15.48]Its where you belong
[02:33.82][01:18.64]And I will be here
I waved good-bye through the window
As I boarded the plane
My first job in Houston
Was waiting for me
I found a letter from Momma
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway
I smiled when she wrote
'Ill miss you, son
Youll be so far away
And Ill be waiting for the day'
'I dont think
She can hear you now'
The doctor told me
'Your momma is fading
Its best that you leave'
So I whispered
'I love you'
And then turned away
But I stopped at the door
When I heard Momma say
'I love you, son
But theyre calling me away
And promise me before I go'
