  • Come
    And talk of all the things we did today
    Here
    And laugh about our funny little ways
    While we have a few minutes to breathe
    Then I know that it's time you must leave

    But, 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

    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

    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

    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

    Go
    And beat your crazy head against the sky
    Try
    And see beyond the houses and your eyes
    It's okay to shoot the moon

    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 Writer/s: JOHN SEBASTIAN

  • AnonymousThat live performance with the mocking guitarist might well be on the ED SULLIVAN Show. Ob-noxious
  • JayMoped Larry looking for orchestra version of darling be home soon. That video is from the Ed Sullivan show, 1967.
  • Moped Larry from SocalI saw once a video of John Sebastian with a orchrastra in formal attire playing Darling be home soon, one time. Since then I can't find the video anymore. Does anybody know the exact title of that video?
