Well I've been away such a long time now

And my life has changed so much

And I broke my promise that no matter how

I would always keep in touch

I could hear the whistle of the telephone wires

I could hear the trains roll by

If I can hear the whistle and the engine's whine

Why can't I hear you cry

That home is where the heart is

Who's that knocking on your front door?

Is it the friend that you never knew?

Well why don't you make sure

That home is where the heart is

Three short steps & I'll be there

Into the arms of the one you love

And never roam no more

Well you tracked me down to this foreign town

Your long distance call came through

And a voice that I'd not heard for years

Said, Darlin', is that you?

And a voice of my own said, I'll be there

When I get these wheels to start

And it's not my promise that I'll break this time

But someone else's heart

'Cause home is where the heart is

Guess who's knocking at your front door?

Is it the friend that you never knew?

Well why don't you make sure

That home is where the heart is

Take those steps across the floor

Into the arms of the one who loves you

And never roam no more
