I looked out across the field

At the sundown gold

Don't feel so young anymore

But sure don't feel old

And I remember you as a child

Running 'round free

You would play through the day into nighttime

Till you could not see



Chorus



Come home - come home

Night is falling but the lights are on

Come home - come home

Night is falling and it won't be long

I'll turn my head

And you'll be grown



I stood in the dark by the window

Lookin' for your lights

I sleep better knowing everybody's home

And everybody's alright

Just one of those things that happen

When you care so much

And you pray to keep from worryin'

Then you worry you ain't prayin' enough



Repeat Chorus



We are all just children - even your momma and me

And everybody gone before us

From this family

And God, the good, good Father watches

Those He call His own

And one day when we're through growin'

He's gonna call us home and he'll say



Come home - come home

Night is falling but the lights goes on

Come home - come home

Night had fallin and it's been so long

Since we've been together

Gonna be here forever

Come home, come on home
