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 mama
To say I'd be late
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear mama say,
I'm so sorry, son
Oh I think you're so brave
And she was smiling when she said
When you come home
No matter how far
Run through the door and into my arms
It's where you are loved
It's where you belong
And I will be here
- - - minor
When you come home
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 mama
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway
I smiled when she wrote
I miss you son
You'll be so far away
But I'll be waiting for the day
(Chorus)
Well I don't think she can hear you now
The doctor told me.
Your mother is fading
It's best that you leave
So I whispered I love you
And then turned away
But I stopped at the door
When I heard mama say
I love you son
But they're callin' me away
Promise me before I go
(Chorus)
