What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Those lives were mine to love and cherish
2
To guard and guide along life's way
3
Oh God forbid that one should perish
4
That one alas should go astray
5
Back in the years with all together
6
Around the place we'd romp and play
7
So lonely now I oft' times wonder
8
Oh will they come back home some day
9
I'm lonesome for my precious children
10
They live so far away
11
Oh may they hear my calling, calling
12
and come back home some day
13
I gave my all for my dear children
14
Their problems still with love I share,
15
I'd brave life's storm, defy the tempest
16
To bring them home from anywhere
17
I lived my life my love I gave them,
18
to guide them through this world of strife,
19
I hope and pray we'll live together
20
In that great glad here after life
21
I'm lonesome for my precious children
22
They live so far away
23
Oh may they hear my calling, calling
24
and come back home some day
