Come Home My Love

Music and Lyrics

by

Charles Nathan  and  Bill Post

Here is an edited, one-chorus solo piano rendition of Come Home My Love (from SMP's 2024 album production, In the Autumn Years).  This melody is the result of a lot of hard work, but the outcome proves worth it. Right between classical and pop (with a dash of folk), this one really shows how Charles was a master melody writer.  Due to the instrumental recording, the lyrics are below.  Hear it (and read it) all for free below!

Come Home My Love
Lyric by Bill Post (ASCAP)
 

Come home my love while the fields are green
And the clover fills the air
Come home before the harvest is in
And all the fields are bare


Come home my love while the streams are full
And the robin sings of spring
Come home before the streams have run dry
And birds are on the wing


Please hear my cry, oh my love
My eyes won't dry, no my love
I think I'd die, though my love
If you would not return


Come home my love while our hearts are young
And our dreams can still come true
Come home before it's too late my love
Come home my love, please do

 Things to be aware of:

  • If you need a key that isn't listed, let us know and we'll get you that key. 

  • As a rule our melodies are published so the largest part of them falls on the staff.  However, if you want your purchased lead sheet's melody to be an octave higher or lower on the staff, let us know and we'll fix it.

  • The lead sheet sample is in the key of the related audio track.

  • EXTRA VALUE: All lead sheets come with 3 types of lyric sheets.  Samples of the lead-sheet, and the 3 included lyric sheets can be seen below.  Regarding the 3 types of lyric sheets, there's one Lyric vocal only, one Lyric with chord spaces, and one Lyric with no chord spaces. The Lyric with chord spaces is formatted so you can write in the chords according to your key.  The Lyric with no chord spaces is formatted for arrangers so they can write in the chords the way they hear them.
