Darling Be Home Soon - Slade

Come and talk of all the things we did today

Hear and laugh about our funny little ways

While we have a few minutes to breathe

And I know that it’s time you must leave

But darling, be home soon

I couldn’t bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdle

My darling, be home soon

It’s not just these few hours

But I’ve been waiting since I’ve toddled

For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now a quarter of my life is almost passed

I think I’ve come to see myself at last

And I see that the time spent confused

Is the time that I spent without you

And I feel myself in bloom

Darling, be home soon

I couldn’t bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdle

My darling, be home soon

It’s not just these few hours

But I’ve been waiting since I’ve toddled

For the great relief of having you to talk to

Soon

Soon

So darling, my darling, be home soon

I couldn’t bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdle

My darling, be home soon

It’s not just these few hours

But I’ve been waiting since I’ve toddled

For the great relief of having you to talk to

So go and beat your crazy head against the sky

Try and see beyond the houses in your eyes

It’s okay to shoot the moon

Darling, be home soon

I couldn’t bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdle

My darling, be home soon

It’s not just these few hours

But I’ve been waiting since I’ve toddled

For the great relief of having you to talk to
