WHEN THE CHILDREN COME HOME by Sarah Goslee Reed

CHORUS:
When the children come home when they’ve been out on their own
On their pillows their tired heads rest
When the children come home you’re no longer alone
And the family is back in the nest
And a mother feels truly at rest

Oh the babies will cry when they’re tired
Their days were so full of play
They’re safely tucked in, eyelids are closing
At the end of another long day

The years pass and their circles widen
They come and they go with their friends
You leave the light on way after dark
Sleepless till they’re home again

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
You wonder how time went so quickly
Life is more than just gathering wool
The phone rings less - it’s so quiet
The rooms are empty yet full...

Soon it’s Christmas and there’s a commotion
Doors fling wide and everyone’s in
At nightfall they’re all safe in their beds
There’s no greater peace than when...
