Homecoming
Embracing Love's Return: A Homecoming Celebration
Lyrics
There's gonna be a homecoming
Anticipation and announcement of a homecoming event.
There's gonna be a lotta good times from now on
Expectation of joyful and positive experiences in the future.
It's been a long time coming, too long coming
Acknowledgment of a prolonged wait for this moment.
And I just can't wait to get him all alone
Expressing eagerness to spend intimate time with a loved one.
Then I'll tell my baby, "Welcome home"
Planning to express a warm welcome to the partner.
Kids get up and wash your faces
Instructing children to prepare for the arrival with cleanliness.
Comb your hair, put on your Sunday smile
Encouraging kids to present themselves in a pleasant manner.
'Cause late last night I talked to your daddy
Informing about a conversation with the partner's father about his arrival.
And he's gonna be drivin' up in a little while
Indicating that the father will be arriving shortly.
Let's all be sure, make him welcome
Encouraging everyone to welcome the returning person.
Don't forget to make him feel at home
Stressing the importance of making the returning person feel comfortable.
Love him all you can till after dinner
Advising to show love and affection until after dinner.
'Cause mama's gonna love him all night long
Implying the intention to express love throughout the night.
There's gonna be a homecoming
Reiteration of the theme of a homecoming celebration.
There's gonna be a lotta good times from now on
Re-emphasizing the expectation of good times in the future.
It's been a long time coming, too long coming
Reiterating the long-awaited nature of this moment.
It should be hard to break up
Acknowledging that breaking up can be difficult.
But it's gonna feel good to make up
Expressing the positive feeling associated with making up after a disagreement.
And I just can't wait to get him all alone
Reiterating the desire to spend intimate time with the partner.
Then I'll tell my baby, "Welcome home"
Repeating the intention to express a warm welcome.
There's gonna be a homecoming
Final repetition of the theme of a homecoming celebration.
