(Doyle Lawson/Charles Waller/Robert Yates)
|
Those lives were mine to love and cherish.
|
To guard and guide along life's way.
|
Oh God forbid that one should perish.
|
That one alas should go astray.
|
|
Back in the years with all together,
|
Around the place we'd romp and play.
|
So lonely now and oft' times wonder,
|
Oh will they come back home some day.
|
|
I'm lonesome for my precious children,
|
They live so far away.
|
Oh may they hear my calling...calling..and come back home some day.
|
|
I gave my all for my dear children,
|
Their problems still with love I share,
|
I'd brave life's storm, defy the tempest
|
To bring them home from anywhere.
|
|
I lived my life my love
|
I gave them, to guide them through this world of strife,
|
I hope and pray we'll live together,
|
In that great glad here after life.
|
|
I'm lonesome for my precious children,
|
They live so far away.
|
Oh may they hear my calling...calling..and come back home some day.
