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.
