When You Come Home - Billy Gilman

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 Momma
To say I'd be late
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear Momma say
 "I'm so sorry, son
Oh I think you're so brave"
And she was smilin when she said
[04:02.31
[02:16.92

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 Momma
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway
I smiled when she wrote
"I'll miss you, son
You'll be so far away
And I'll be waiting for the day"
"I don't think
She can hear you now"
The doctor told me
"Your momma 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 Momma say
"I love you, son
But they're calling me away
And promise me before I go"
