BACK HOME FOR KEEPS
(Carmen Lombardo / Bob Russell)


Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians 
(vocal: Kay Armen) - 1945


 

 
Back home for keeps, yes that will be the day
You'll sweetly kiss the angry years away
Some things will have changed
That much we knew from the very start
We wanted them changed
After all, that's why we're apart

Back home with you, imagine what that means
We'll revel in the old familiar themes
And walk the quiet hillside
While the world peacefully sleeps
In your welcome arms I'll be back home for keeps
 
Back home for keeps, that will be the day
You'll sweetly kiss the angry years away
Some things will have changed
That much we knew from the very start
We wanted them changed
After all, that's why we're apart

Back home with you, imagine what that means
We'll revel in the old familiar themes
And walk the quiet hillside
While the world peacefully sleeps
In your welcome arms I'll be back home for keeps
