Darling Be Home Soon Lyrics

Artist: Lovin' Spoonful

Darling Be Home Soon
Lovin' Spoonful
- words and music by John Sebastian
- from the Francis Ford Coppola movie "You're a Big Boy Now"
starring Peter Kastner
- #15 hit for The Lovin' Spoonful in 1967

Come
And talk of all the things we did today
Here
And laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
Then I know that it's time you must leave

But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now
A quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

------ instrumental break ------

Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Go
And beat your crazy head against the sky
Try
And see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon

So darling
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Comments/Interpretations
by RosieAnnie on 5/18/2008 12:52pm My husband was in ICU for 26 days- unable to hear or speak. One thing for me during this horrific ordeal was I wanted so desperately just "to talk" with him. 5/18/08
by Mike on 2/17/2009 8:30am Conversation is our gretest riches. And finding one who shares your deepest thoughts with is the true joy of this life. Sebastian expresses it so well.
by Van on 2/21/2009 10:56am Silence is only "golden" when you have someone to talk to.
by jeff on 2/22/2009 11:38pm splendid words so prevliged we are to have one another.
by Steph on 3/3/2009 4:08pm I love the idea of beating one's crazy head against the sky. Its such a profound and beautiful thought. I love talking to my significant other, its one reason I love having a phone. When I just want to talk, I can just pick it up and he's there on the other end almost always.
by marc on 8/19/2009 10:52pm we are always waiting, unable to stand it. always.
by davo on 9/2/2009 7:07am "toddled" seems such a silly word in a song that expresses such a profound expression "for the great relief of having you to talk to" - Love it :)
by Phil on 11/28/2009 5:13pm I have a girlfriend living in China. I miss holding her and making love to her but I miss talking to her the most.

by martin xavier on 5/23/2010 8:49am nothing like that 1 person that every individual can relate too. blue eyed girl on the other end of the phone
by Michael Caporaletti on 7/7/2010 5:51pm Such an inspirational song; the lyrics can virtually turn you inside out. Always tell the folks you love how you feel or forever regret you didn't.
by MUsicfan on 7/12/2010 2:46am This is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written!
by Rexer on 7/20/2010 2:23am I don't have her anymore. I missed her for years.
by RE824 on 9/12/2010 2:29am I Love the sincerity of this song.
by Al's Daughter on 11/22/2010 9:45pm Now that I do not have a Home, I understand how lovely it is to have someone to want you to come back soon. And that Great Relief is still elusive for me.
by lieveling on 5/4/2011 2:33pm Have always held same sentiments that Michael describes above from 7/7/2010. When I finally got chance to express the same it was a cloud-nine feeling. Sadly within the hour I had landed without a parachute! No second chance. Perhaps she should have stayed a fantasy. Still a beautifully crafted, magical song.
by Musicfan on 6/29/2011 7:07am Whay a pure beautiful peace of music bravo!
by MaureenC on 7/2/2011 11:14am This song is even more sublime now, cuz I have a love like this in reality!
by john on 9/12/2011 4:46pm heard on 9/10. ohhh the revelance.

by yvette on 11/29/2011 7:03pm This was my mother's song for me. She used to phone my machine and sing a few lines... she passed in 2007 and the song - whether sung by Lovin' Spoonful or the Rankins or Joe Cocker, still brings me closer to her...
