Almost Home Lyrics - Singles - Donna Hughes

Loaded up the car and said goodbye 

Looked at that old school one last time 

No more homework and tears 

And I'll miss the friends that I made here 

Chorus: But I'm almost home, where they meet you with a smile and open arms 

I'm almost home, where you never see a stranger and folks know who you are 

I'm almost home, where I'll be welcomed like a star 

I've been waiting for the day and I've been dreaming of your face 

and I'm almost home 

Went to serve his country far away 

In a land where all the skies were grey 

Letters froze the pain in time 

Late at night he wrote while he cried 

I'm almost home, where they meet you with a smile and open arms 

I'm almost home, where you never see a stranger and folks know who you are 

I'm almost home, where I'll be welcomed like a star 

I'll be waiting for the day and I'll be dreaming of your face 

and Im almost home 

She saw her father in the room 

She said her time was coming soon 

I couldn't see him anywhere 

But I knew she saw him standing there 

She was smiling up at me 

She put her hand on my knee 

Took a breath and closed her eyes 

She was singing while I cried 

I'm almost home, where my Savior waits with open arms 

I'm almost home, where I'll never meet a stranger and loved ones never part 

I'm almost home, where I'll be welcomed like a star 

I've been waiting for the day and I've been dreaming of your face 

and Im almost home
