You've been gone so long,

Ten years, too damn long.

In that time, I've become lost,

Tired, weary, and without prospects.

Fall is back, but it's been here before,

So many times without my love at hand.

The leaves have changed to a beautiful color;

Won't you do the same for me?

Please come home to me, Lucy,

Please come home for the holidays.

I long for your love, my dear,

Just come home, you shan't ever fear,

For I'll make the time worth while.

All you need to do is hit that dial.

You've been gone a long, long time,

So long, it should be a crime.

I love you, my dear, sweet Lucy;

Won't you come home to me tonight?

I've seen many women come and go

Since I last saw you when you were home,

But I haven't seen star shine so bright

As the one in the form of you.

Lucy, you etched a place in my heart

In the days when we used to frolic,

But then you took flight,

My heart turned to stone,

And I was ice cold to the rest of the world.

Please come home to me, Lucy,

Please come home for the holidays.

Please come back to show your love,

For we're a match deemed worthy from up above.

You've been gone a long, long time,

So long, it should be a crime.

I love you, my dear, sweet Lucy;

Won't you come home to me tonight?
