Come on back,
my child, come on back
You've been away too long
It's been lonely ever since
you've been gone
So please won't you come on home
Come on back, my child, come on back
Let's forget all about the past
Please believe me that it will relieve me
Just to know that you're home at last
Oh, how I want you to know
I really love you so
And I will never be happy
Till you come back home
Oh, how I want you to know
I really love you so
And I will never be happy
Till you come back home
Come on back, my child, come on back
While you can still see the light of day
Soon the sun will be all the way down
And you won't even find your way
Come on back, my child, come on back
Oh, how I miss you so
I'd like to hold you in my loving arms
To protect you from the cold
Come on back,
my child, come on back
To what you know is right
Don't be afraid just be
cause you disobey
Please, won't you come on home
How I want you to know,
I really love you so
An d I will never be happy till
you come back home
Hurry home my child, hurry home
The table's all set for you
But on your way home,
bring your friends along
And tell them they're invited too
Come on back my child,
come on back
You've been away too long
I've been lonely ever since
you've been gone
So please won't you come on home
You
