Lyrics

Chorus:

Take the yellow ribbon down, I'm coming home
It has been so very long that I've been gone
But now the time has come, my duty's done
and I am on my way
so take the yellow ribbon down, I'm coming home.

Coming home to the sweetest one that I have missed so much,
Coming home to your kisses and to feel your loving touch,
You're the one that I have dreamed of every night that I've been gone,
so take the yellow ribbon down, I'm coming home.

(Chorus)

Coming home to a little boy that I have never seen,
Coming home to be a daddy and a husband once again,
The milestones missed and your last kiss are what I'm thinking of,
so take the yellow ribbon down, I'm coming home.

(Chorus)

Take the yellow ribbon down, I'm coming home
It has been so very long that I've been gone
But now the time has come, my duty's done
and I am on my way
so take the yellow ribbon down, for I am home.
