There is no place like home There is no place like home Do you remember You left this morning at nine With everything fine Welcome home baby (Oh oh oh) It's been a long, long time (Long, long time) Do you remember (Oh oh oh) That little stain on your lips Where honey drips Welcome home baby (Oh oh oh) It's been a long, long time (Long, long time) (Well) Well (Well) Well, at ten o'clock I was lonely and blue At twelve o'clock I thought of nothing but you From two o'clock Till a quarter of four I waited patiently To hear your footsteps at the door Do you remember (Oh oh oh) That little stain on your lips Where honey drips Welcome home baby (Oh oh oh) It's been a long, long time Welcome home baby (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh) It's been a long, long time Welcome home
