Home Soon

I've heard that old time's still a'flying
Eternity's not far away
I've heard that our living is dying
And all that we have is today

There's so much that we'll never see
And still more that we'll never be

How many ways of the bearing
And losing and breaking we've found
Never imagining one day
That they'd be eclipsed by the sound

Of mended hearts, beating in time
Of star-seeking nights and of finding you

Time will eventually be
Another thing out of our reach
We've long known the worth of a day
From what has been taken away
So how wonderful is it that
When I saw you for the first time, I knew that
I'd be home soon

I've heard that a life, in a breath, love
Can turn as the will of a wind
I've heard that a tender love strengthens
And from endings, it all can begin - again

So gather ye rosebuds, my dear -
All of the beauty we'll need is here

Time will eventually be
Another thing out of our reach
We know what one moment can mean
From what we've been given and all we have seen
Since that wonderful moment
When I saw you for the first time, and knew
That wonderful moment
When I saw you for the first time, and knew
That I'd be home soon
That I'd be home soon
