Homecoming - Matthew West

Baby had a smile

Stretched from ear to ear

She’d been counting down the days

Friday night was almost here

Baby’s first homecoming

Daddy took her shopping

To find the perfect dress

Like a model on the runway

He watched her twirl, said oh my girl

You’re growing up too fast

Not ready for homecoming

There she goes

There she goes

She was driving down the highway, probably thinking 'bout her date

Lost control around a curb, and everything would change

On September 28th

The night before homecoming

And next thing the doctor’s saying

There’s nothing we can do

Family falls down praying right there in the waiting room

God say it isn’t true

All of their tears running

There she goes

There she goes

There she goes

There she goes

They laid her to rest

In that pretty red dress

I swear the clouds rolled away

When her momma stood to say

This was her homecoming

Well the way I’ll always see it

You said goodbye too soon

But these days you’re the reason why

I’ve living like I know we’re all just passing through

On the way to our homecoming

On the way to our homecoming

Our homecoming

Welcome home, welcome home

Welcome home, welcome home

Welcome home, welcome home

Welcome home, welcome home
