"Homecoming" lyrics - MATTHEW WEST

[Verse I]
Baby had a smile
Stretched from ear to ear
She'd been counting down the days
Friday night was almost here
Baby's first homecoming

Daddy took her shopping
To find the perfect dress
Like a model on the runway
He watched her twirl, said oh my girl
You're growing up too fast
Not ready for homecoming

[Chorus I]
There she goes
There she goes

[Verse II]
She was driving down the highway, probably thinking 'bout her date
Lost control around a curb, and everything would change
On September 28th
The night before homecoming

And next thing the doctor's saying
There's nothing we can do
Family falls down praying right there in the waiting room
God say it isn't true
All of their tears running

[Chorus II]
There she goes
There she goes
There she goes
There she goes

[Verse III]
They laid her to rest
In that pretty red dress
I swear the clouds rolled away
When her momma stood to say
This was her homecoming

Well the way I'll always see it
You said goodbye too soon
But these days you're the reason why
I've living like I know we're all just passing through
On the way to our homecoming
On the way to our homecoming
Our homecoming

Welcome home, welcome home
Welcome home, welcome home
Welcome home, welcome home
Welcome home, welcome home
