Home (1983 premiere TV performance from The Merv Griffin Show) Songtext
von Whitney Houston

When I think of home
I think of a place where there′s love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there
With the things I've been knowing

Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
And suddenly, the rain drops that fall have a meaning
Sprinkling the scene makes it all so clean
And maybe there′s a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
And it sure would be nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection

And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time, please stay my friend, and let me start again...


Suddenly my world is gonna changed its face
But I know, I know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around and around in space
Yet I′ve watched it growing

Oh, I know you′re listening Lord
So won't you please try not to make it hard
To know I shouldn′t believe everything
Everything that I see
Tell me, should I try and stay or maybe I should run away
Would it be better, better, better, better just to let things be?

Living here in my brand-new world
It might be a fantasy, yes it could be
But it taught me to love
So I know that it's real, its real, its real to me...

And I′ve learned that we must look inside our hearts to find...
Yeah we gotta find a world full of love
Like yours, like mine-
