He's home for a little while, he's mine once again
No need to tell, but it feels simply swell
With him close to me, where he's supposed to be

He's home for a little while, I live for his kiss
I hit the skies when he looks in my eyes
And my knees grow weak with bliss

He's sort of changed, he's kind of different
From the boy I used to know a while ago
Strange how much he says without a word
And when he holds my hand, I understand

I'm his, but forevermore, he's mine, mine alone
We'll have to part, but he's close to my heart
For the little while he's home

We'll have to part, but he's close to my heart
For the little while he's home
