When the kisses that he gave you when he had to go away
have dried like the dew on a rose
and you chase the fireflies in the valley below
then you know that all the boys are comin’ home

When the wild geese are wingin’ back home again
and you run into a long lost friend
and he says, I didn’t know you were so helplessly alone
then you know that all the boys are comin’ home
oh yes, you know that all the boys are comin’ home

They’re comin’ home they’re comin’ home
they’re comin’ home, ah-ah
they’re comin’, yes baby they’re comin’ home
they’re comin’ home they’re comin’ home
they’re comin’ home, doo-doo-dee-doo
they’re comin’, yes baby they’re comin’ home
they’re comin’ home, yes baby they’re comin’ home

When the city has been blacked out for more than a year
and the nights have been nothin’ but fear
and the neon-lights on Broadway suddenly explode
then you know that all the boys are commin’ home

When the ships in the harbour blow the whistle in the night
and the sailorman returns from the sea
and you try to hide your tears when he calls you on the phone
then you know that all the boys are comin’ home
oh yes, you know that all the boys are comin’ home

They’re comin’ home they’re comin’ home
they’re comin’ home, ah-ah
they’re comin’, yes baby they’re comin’ home
they’re comin’ home they’re comin’ home
they’re comin’ home, doo-doo-dee-doo
they’re comin’, yes baby they’re comin’ home
they’re comin’ home, yes baby they’re comin’ home
they’re comin’ home

Hey baby, they’re coming home
Yes baby, they’re coming home
