VERSE1
Did you hear the news today that Johnnys coming home
It may be too soon for us but still we should have known
He would come eventually as time went slipping by
Johnnys coming home today to look into your eyes
|
VERSE2
In all the letters that you wrote you never did let on
Things had changed were not the same since he has been gone
And when he rushes home to you as soon as he arrives
I think I know what he will see When he looks into your eyes
|
CHORUS1
He asked me to take care of you because I was his friend
But this is not the way I thought that things were gonna end
We didnt see where it would lead the day he said good-bye
Now will he see a part of me left somewhere in your eyes
(INSTRUMENTAL)
|
VERSE3
Johnnys coming home today and you will have to say
How much youve been missing him since he was away
And it may be the truth you tell or it may be a lie
But either way hes coming home to look into your eyes
(CHORUS1)
|
VERSE4
Suddenly now things have changed as I receive a call
The way hes coming home is not the way we thought at all
Now I only wish that he could see the tears we cry
If only he were still alive to look into your eyes
|
CHORUS2
He asked me to take care of you because I was his friend
But this is not the way I thought that things were gonna end
We watched him go but didnt know that he would not survive
Now he will always be the one left somewhere in your eyes.
