Lyrics Home Tonight - Chris Rice

Home Tonight

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
You’d have every reason
To slam and dead-bolt the door
But 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
