A         D                               A
Come and talk of all the things we did today,
           D                            A
Here, and laugh about our funny little ways.
          D     C#m  Bm7         A    A7
While we have a few minutes to breathe,
        D   C#m       Bm7           A
And I know that it's time you must leave.

Chorus:
     D
But darling, be home soon;
                                  A
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute, if you
 A7
dawdled.
    D
My darling, be home soon;
                                              A
It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting
          A7
since I toddled.
          D      A/C#    Bm    E9      A
For the great relief of having you to talk to,
  A7
(talk to).

And now
A quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

Chorus:
So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute
if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but
I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute
if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but
I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

A        D                                 A
Go, and beat your crazy head against the sky,
         D                               A
Try and see beyond the houses, and your eyes.
       D    C#m Bm     Bm/A E7 Bm7 E7 Bm7 E7
Silhou-ette a -gainst the  moon.

Chorus:
So darling
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute
if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but
I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
