Today I got the letter, that you wrote me
You told me soon that you'd be coming home
You ask me to forgive, and said you loved me
And said you missed me so since you've been gone

I guess I'm just a fool, but I'm so lonely
If only for awhile you would be true
Yes welcome home my darling, I'll be waiting
The welcome mat is on the step for you

My friends all say, I'm crazy to forgive you
But they're not faced with sorrow such as mine
Now just the thoughts, of having you back home dear
Is making me feel better all the time

* Refrain
