When The Robins Come Home Songtext
It was just after Christmas, I remember the year
A boy and his sweetheart sat there on a pier
Tomorrow he was leaving for over the phone
And he said, "I will be back when the robins come home"
I will be back when the robins come home
I′ll have enough money to make you my own
Don't be too lonely now while I am gone
′Cause I will be back when the robins come home
The winter passed slowly, sometimes he was sad
He said in his letters, the weather was bad
And that he missed her while out on the phone
And he prayed for the date when the robins come home
I will be back when the robins come home
I'll have enough money to make you my own
Don't be too lonely now while I am gone
′Cause I will be back when the robins come home
The schooner, she waited for was coming at last
But joy turned to sorrow, for her flag was half-mast
Teardrops were falling on the first day of spring
As the tears wet his casket, a robin did sing
I will be back when the robins come home
I′ll have enough money to make you my own
Don't be too lonely now while I am gone
′Cause I will be back when the robins come home
I will be back when the robins come home
I'll have enough money to make you my own
Don′t be too lonely now while I am gone
'Cause I will be back when the robins come home
A boy and his sweetheart sat there on a pier
Tomorrow he was leaving for over the phone
And he said, "I will be back when the robins come home"
I will be back when the robins come home
I′ll have enough money to make you my own
Don't be too lonely now while I am gone
′Cause I will be back when the robins come home
The winter passed slowly, sometimes he was sad
He said in his letters, the weather was bad
And that he missed her while out on the phone
And he prayed for the date when the robins come home
I will be back when the robins come home
I'll have enough money to make you my own
Don't be too lonely now while I am gone
′Cause I will be back when the robins come home
The schooner, she waited for was coming at last
But joy turned to sorrow, for her flag was half-mast
Teardrops were falling on the first day of spring
As the tears wet his casket, a robin did sing
I will be back when the robins come home
I′ll have enough money to make you my own
Don't be too lonely now while I am gone
′Cause I will be back when the robins come home
I will be back when the robins come home
I'll have enough money to make you my own
Don′t be too lonely now while I am gone
'Cause I will be back when the robins come home
