lyrics

1. Together we climbed the steps to the home where I was raised
The old Wisconsin farmhouse I’d hardly seen the past decade
Five years I’d stayed away, ‘til Mama nearly died from flu
After that I came back at times, but only now did I bring Sue

2. My parents’ faith is strong, the Bible’s word is truth
There’s a path we all must follow, I’d learned that in my youth
I got married to a good man, sixteen years I strove to love
Then Sue entered my life, and I found what loving was

3. The phone calls from my folks were battles for my soul
Their sick and sinful daughter must come back to the fold
I held on to a dream, someday we’d reconcile
But I never was alone, Sue was with me all the while

4. Through the years our love was steady, I think my folks were moved
Perhaps the changing times influenced them too
Shifts were taking place, they spoke of Sue by name
She nursed me through pneumonia, Dad called and offered thanks

5. Now we’re standing at my folk’s door ten years after we’d first met
I hadn’t asked if Sue could come, I’d announced it as a fact
Hope may spring eternal, but hope misleads at times
I rang the bell and waited, Sue slipped her hand in mine

6. The farmhouse door was opened, Mama met me with a hug
Then turned and did the same to Sue as Dad smiled on us
It took three whispered words to lay the painful past to rest
Holding Sue in both her arms, “You’re home now” Mama said
