Baby had a smile Stretched from ear to ear She'd been counting down the days Friday night was almost here Baby's first homecoming Daddy took her shopping To find the perfect dress Like a model on a runway He watched her twirl Said, "My girl you're growing up too fast Not ready for homecoming" There she goes There she goes She was driving down the highway Probably dreaming 'bout her date Lost control around a curve And everything would change On September 28 The night before homecoming Next thing the doctor's saying "There's nothing we can do" Family falls down praying Right there in the waiting room God say it isn't true All of their tears running There she goes There she goes There she goes There she goes They laid her to rest In that pretty red dress I swear the clouds rolled away When her mama stood to say, "This was her homecoming" Well the way I'll always see it You said goodbye too soon But these days you're the reason Why I'm living like I know We're all just passing through On the way to our homecoming On the way to our homecoming Our homecoming Welcome home...
