Welcome Home, Sweet Angel

[Intro] Hey, hey—come on home [Verse 1] I left the porch light burning Since the morning train rolled through Kept your favorite cup beside me Saved the first hello for you Every room was holding stillness Every clock forgot its name Now your suitcase hits the doorway And the house wakes up again [Pre-Chorus] Sweet angel, lay your worries down You don't have to face them now [Chorus] Welcome home to my arms, sweet angel Come and rest where your heart belongs Welcome home to my arms, sweet angel You were gone, but you weren't gone long I've got a little celebration And a love that won't let go Welcome home to my arms, sweet angel This is where you know you're home [Verse 2] There's a ribbon on the doorway And a record on the chair I was practicing my greeting But I lose it when you're there Tell me every road you traveled Tell me what the distance knew Then I'll show you all the small things That kept waiting here for you [Pre-Chorus] Sweet angel, let the whole world wait We have time to celebrate [Chorus] Welcome home to my arms, sweet angel Come and rest where your heart belongs Welcome home to my arms, sweet angel You were gone, but you weren't gone long I've got a little celebration And a love that won't let go Welcome home to my arms, sweet angel This is where you know you're home [Bridge] No more suitcase by the doorway No more goodbye at the gate Put your hand inside my hand now We can make up for the wait Every heartbeat says it plainly Every window knows your name You came back and brought the summer Now nothing feels the same [Break] Come on home Come on home Sweet angel, come on home [Final Chorus] Welcome home to my arms, sweet angel Come and rest where your heart belongs Welcome home to my arms, sweet angel You were gone, but you weren't gone long I've got a little celebration And a love that won't let go Welcome home to my arms, sweet angel This is where you know you're home [Outro] Welcome home, welcome home Sweet angel, you're home
