"Home Again"
The table was set, food prepared with such skill
And the men were all gathered outside at the grill
We were told to behave it was always so hard
So much laughter while we ran around in the yard
Put on your mittens, you're going to catch cold
Sit up straight, close your mouth if you hope to get old
Get to bed, turn the light off, now close your tired eyes
When you wake in the morning there'll be a surprise
It was life for the day
Before time slipped away
(Chorus)
Where are the days & the nights when we all felt the same?
Can we pass on what we have or do we just
Surrender & call it "the end"
We can't go home again.
Pass out the gifts & we'll go to sleep soon
Enough torn wrapping paper to fill up a room
Come, let's sit 'round the table, uncork the champagne
No one's driving tonight - everyone will remain
In a time long ago
Learning all that we know
(Chorus)
Many long winters & springs they have come
And we're still looking back at the things that we've done
Just shadows and memories since we left this town
Let's visit once before they tear this house down
Today we all gather in what we became
And we all try our best but it's still not the same
And we laugh at our youth & the clothes that wore
The day comes, then it goes but we always want more
So we still get together whatever the cost
Say a prayer, drink a toast to the ones that we've lost
Don't you think they're all smiling to see us right now?
When we do this we're all still together somehow
Every word that they'd say
Brought us right here today
This is the day & we're here & we all feel the same
They passed it to us, ready? here comes the torch
The future on you will depend
We're here now, same as then
We just came home again.
