Home Tonight Lyrics - Chris Rice

I've come to my senses 

How did I get so far from home 

The lies dissipating 

Revealing I'm so alone 

And I remember now how strong love can be 

And I wonder how did I ever leave 

Burn your fire on the altar 

Leave a candle on the porch 

I'm still too far away to see it 

But I'm aching for its warmth 

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome 

But still I hear your song inside 

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight 

Sing it loud now 'cause I'm comin' home tonight 

This isn't the first time 

I've wandered away from home before 

So you'd have every reason 

To slam and dead-bolt the door 

And I remember now, how strong your love can be 

And I wonder how you might welcome me 

Burn your fire on the altar 

Leave a candle on the porch 

I'm still too far away to see it 

But I'm aching for its warmth 

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome 

But still I hear your song inside 

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight 

Sing it loud now 'cause I'm comin' home tonight 

Into your arms, to my backyard 

Where I used to play 

How I miss the days 

So burn your fire on the altar 

Leave a candle on the porch 

I'm still too far away to see it 

But I'm aching for its warmth 

I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome 

But still I hear your song inside 

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight 

Sing it loud now 'cause I'm comin' home tonight
