Ah, it's a happy time inside my mind When a melody does find a rhyme Says to me I'm comin' home to stay Oh, lord, home to stay I'm comin' home to stay Home to stay Ah, lord, it's just the same old story Something about love for glory A nickel and a dime a dozen Fame Ah, it's such a shame Ah, the way they use your name Ah, you know it's such a shame When it's only mine to sing a song Hoping that you'd cross along my way Before I have to move along Ah, now move along Ah, but I'll be back again Ooh back again Ah, it's a happy time inside my mind When a melody does find a rhyme Says to me I'm comin' home to stay Oh, lord, home to stay I'm comin' home to stay Home to stay Sleep late now mama Let the mornin' sun warm your bed While I'm away While I'm away
