[Verse 1]
Love is sterling threads of gold
Treasure 'til the heart grows old
When my love you stole from me
You said I'd wait patiently

[Chorus]
And wait for you to come home
I'll wait for you to come home
I need you so

[Verse 2]
With my heart you went away
Leaving your heart in its place
Flying softly in the breeze
I can hear you sing to me

[Chorus]
I'll wait for you to come home, yeah
I'll wait for you to come home
I need you so

[Bridge]
I need your love with me
If you are here or across the sea
Love me as I love you
And girl I know we'll see it through, yeah
[Verse 3]
Though we cry so far away
Tears of joy we'll see one day
In my dreams, you're close to me
I can hear you say to me

[Chorus]
I'll wait for you to come home, yeah
I'll wait for you to come home
I need you so

[Bridge]
They can't keep you away
I'll find the road to you someday
And baby, the day I do
I'll make our every wish come true, oh yeah

[Verse 4]
I will never say goodbye
Even though my heart may cry
Oh, wait, the world must be a fool
I will sit and dream of you

[Chorus]
And wait for you to come home, yeah
I'll wait for you to come home
I need you so
[Outro]
I need you so
Need you so
