...DARLING BE HOME SOON... by Joe Cocker

*from 'Joe Cocker!' (1969)*

(Original Key: A)

Intro:

Verse 1:

Come and talk of all the things we did to-day,

Here, and laugh about our funny little ways.

While we have a few minutes to breathe,

And I know that it's time you must leave.

Chorus 1:

But darling, be home soon;

I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute, if you dawdled.

My darling, be home soon;

It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled.

For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to).

Verse 2:

And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed,

I think I've come to see myself at last.

And I see that the time spent con-fused,

Was the time that I spent without you.

And I feel my -self in bloom.

Chorus 2:

But darling, be home soon;

I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute, if you dawdled.

My darling, be home soon;

It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled.

For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to).

Interlude:

Chorus 3:

But darling, be home soon;

I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute, if you dawdled.

My darling, be home soon;

It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled.

For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to, talk to).

Verse 3:

Go, and beat your crazy head against the sky,

Try and see beyond the houses, and your eyes.

It's o-k to shoot the moon.

Chorus 4:

But darling, be home soon;

I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute, if you dawdled.

My darling, be home soon;

It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled.

For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to).

Coda:

For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to, talk to).

For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to, talk to).
