Lyrics
Thanks, many thanks
For your wonderful welcome today
I’m not good at making speeches
But this much I’d like to say
Chorus
I’m so glad to be home again
I promise never to roam again
It’s oh so good to be home again
I could cry, I’m so happy
I’m back where I had to be
Awfully glad to be home
My heart suddenly mends again
Among my neighbors and friends again
As I start tying loose ends again
I could cry, I’m so happy
There’s no need of asking me
Certainly you can see
Just why I’m glad to be home
Why I’m so glad to be home
