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 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
(CHORUS)
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 goodbye Now will he see a part of me left somewhere in your eyes
(Instrumental VERSE)
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
(Repeat CHORUS)
But suddenly now things have changed as I receive a call The way hes coming home is not the way we thought at all And now I only wish that he could see the tears we cry If only he were still alive to look into your eyes 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.
