| I don’t have the glasses to hold the champagne
|
| To celebrate the moment you’re in my arms again
|
| I don’t the breath to blow the balloons
|
| All that I’m hoping is you’re coming home soon
|
| I don’t have the bunting or supply of cigars
|
| The 'Welcome Home' banners to hang from the bars
|
| All that I have is these arms that I own
|
| To put 'round your waist and pull you back home
|
| Strike out the fanfare, she’s coming home soon
|
| And all that I own is this untidy room
|
| Bed for my sleeping, table for tea
|
| And love makes you happy, apparently
|
| I can’t hold the tears to write you this song
|
| To welcome you back after loving you so long
|
| And I ain’t got the money to buy you the ride
|
| To get you from there to here by my side
|
| Strike out the fanfare, she’s coming home soon
|
| And all that I own is this untidy room
|
| Bed for my sleeping, table for tea
|
| And love makes you happy, apparently
|
| As I wait at the station, a rose in my hand
|
| I don’t have a choir or a military band
|
| Glass made to shatter, eggs made to break
|
| But sure as I’m standing, a heart’s made to ache
|
| Strike out the fanfare, she’s coming home soon
|
| And all that I own is this untidy room
|
| Bed for my sleeping, table for tea
|
| And love makes you happy, apparently
|
| And love makes you happy, apparently
|
| Love makes you happy, apparently
|
| And love makes you happy, apparently… |
