Flamingos, The - I'll Be Home Lyrics






I'll be home, my darling
Please wait for me
(Wait for me)
We'll stroll along together
Once more our love will be free

At the corner drugstore
Each Saturday we would meet
(We would meet)
I'd walk you home in the moonlight
All of these things we'll repeat

So darling, as I write this letter
Here's hoping you're thinking of me
My time's about up
So long until I'll be home to start serving you

I'll be home, my darling
Please wait for me
(Wait for me)
We'll stroll along together
All of these things we'll repeat

So, darling, as I write this letter
Here's hoping, here's hoping you're thinking of me
Because my time's about up, doll
So long until I'll be home to start serving you

I'll be home, my darling
Please wait for me
(Wait for me)
We'll stroll along together
Once more our love will be free

    Lost my wife 6 weeks ago, was one of our favorites. Pat Boone did it as well, did a great job, but prefer this one. Sad that these beautifully songs are oldies.nothing like it today, but these oldies are coming back

    The late GREAT Nate Nelson - when street corner harmony was king ! Far time to bring it back and reintroduce something worthwhile to our inner cities . . . . .

    R.... C....

    Yes it is time. This crap today is not even music. Very sad for our young generation who are forced to listen ti it.

  11. a.... w....

    What a great song with a lot of meaning.

  12. D.... D....

    From the south side of Chi-Town. Nat Nelson on lead for this one. One of their Checker releases (830 - 1956) - their best work, IMHO.

    When I hear this music, and I hear it a lot, I tear up thinking of my wife and I and how much we liked it. I lost her 3 years ago and the music brings back good times.

    At the time this was released, Chess/Checker labels not only had The Flamingos, but also The Moonglows. Then, to top it off they had single artists such as Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Walter, and Bobby Charles.
