Welcome Home
Composer(s): Bud Green; Ed. Nelson



Skies of gray have given way to brightness 
Hearts that once were sad are feeling gay 
The news has flashed around 
Our boys are Homeward bound 
And we'll be there to meet them just to say

Every mother's waiting for her loved one 
Every sweetheart's waiting at the pier 
Each baby will be glad 
To see her fighting Dad 
And this whole nation's proud to see you here

Welcome home the day of peace on earth is here 
Welcome home what words of cheer 
We've kept our home fires a burning while yearning for you 
Your vacant chair is waiting too 
you know you're 
Welcome home 
Each mother's heart sings out with joy 
Welcome home my soldier boy 
And now that all the war clouds safely have past 
And God has brought me sunshine at last 
Oh welcome, welcome, you are welcome home
