Intro

Verse 1

Come and talk of all the things we did to-day,

 Here, 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.

Chorus 1

 But darling, be home soon;

 I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute, if you dawdled.

 My darling, be home soon;

 It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled.

 For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to).

Verse 2

 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 con-fused,

 Was the time that I spent without you.

 And I feel my -self in bloom.

Chorus 2

 But darling, be home soon;

 I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute, if you dawdled.

 My darling, be home soon;

 It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled.

 For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to).

 It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled.

 For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to, talk to).

Verse 3

Go, and beat your crazy head against the sky,

 Try and see beyond the houses, and your eyes.

 It's o-k to shoot the moon.
