Coming Home To This lyrics

Got a movie from home on a VHS,
It was three months late by it`s cancelled stamps.
My boss had a deck in the Officer`s mess, so he fired it up while I blew out the sand.
The first image I saw made my heart race, two blues candles and my little boy Jake.
His smile was a big as his birthday cake. He said `wanna know what I wish?
That daddy`s coming home to This.`

Oh Sweet Innocence.

My dad snuck in the kitchen with the record button pressed.
And there was my mom in her long summer dress.
Kneeling by a chair, she was saying a prayer, with no idea he was standing there.
He tapped her shoulder and she slapped his hand and laughingly said `you`re such a silly man.`
Then she possed by the stove with my favorite dish. She said `by the grace of God son, you`ll be coming home to This.`

Oh, Such Lovingness

My wife blew me a kiss with a stiff upper lip. But I heard a faint sigh when she waved goodbye. Then grandad wiped her eyes with his red hankerchief and said `careful out there boy, so you can come home to This`

Oh, Sweet Tenderness

That night as a laid in my wind tattered tent, with two blue candles and that VHS.
I held them as tight as I could to my chest and promised myself I`d take care. So I could come home to This.

All this Peacefulness

Daybreak on a Sunday I arrived unannounced.
A brand new Flag hung at my house.
It was my first war and I hope it`s my last, but I`d do it again should my country ask.
And if that`s the case I have only one wish.
Wanna know what I wish?

That I`ll be coming home to This.

All This Innocence,
All This Lovingness,
Oh Sweet Tenderness,
All This Peacefulness.

Coming home to This.
