Home Before Dark Lyrics

What a beautiful day it is here

And how beautiful you look out there

Just look great

I packed up my bags

Put in my favorite Levis

Laid my mandolin beside the door

I said to momma

I won't be long

Don't worry about me

I'll be home before dark

I'll be alright

And you'll be fine without me

I'll be home before dark

Bought a ticket to New York city

One way out and no return

I watched the sun go down across the plains from Denver

Lord, how the western sky can burn

Met a boy in the darkness

Handsome, tall and heartless

Loved him like an eagle loves the wind

Till I heard him say

I won't be longJudy Collins - Home Before Dark - http://motolyrics.com/judy-collins/home-before-dark-lyrics.html

Don't worry about me

I'll be home before dark

I'll be home

I'll be alright

And you'll be fine without me

I'll be home before dark

My daughter looks like him they say

To me she looks like momma

I see an eagle's shadow in her eyes

Last night at her birthday

We blew the candles out together

I wonder will she take me by surprise

When she says momma

I won't be long

Don't worry about me

I'll be home before dark

I'll be home

I'll be alright

And you'll be fine without me

I'll be home before dark

I'll be home before dark
