Those nights were mine to love and cherish.
To God and God, and on ice sway.
Oh, God, for me, that one should perish.
That love and rest should go astray.
Back in the years we'd all together.
Around the place we'd roam and play.
So long.
So long, you know, I often wonder.
Oh, will they come back home someday?
I'm lonesome for my precious children.
They live so far away.
Oh, may they hear my calling.
And come back home someday.
I gave my all for my dear children.
Their problems healed with love I share.
My pain, my storms defy the tempest.
My pain, my storms defy the tempest.


To bring them home from anywhere, I gave my life, my love, I gave them.
To guide them through this world of strife, I hope and pray we'll live together
in that great land here after life.
I'm lonesome for my precious children, they live so far away.
Oh, may they hear my calling.
Amen.
I'm lonesome for my precious children, they live so far away.
Oh, may they hear my calling.
Calling.
Calling.
Calling.
And come back home someday.
And come back home someday.
And come back home someday.
