Omara

The house has been a little too quiet

Since you packed up and headed to school

I missed my wise and determined daughter

And the beautiful way you view the world

You always see the good in everybody

With a caring heart that never bends

I counted the weeks while you were at college

Waiting for the waiting to end

Omara, you’re finally coming home to me

And the heavy wait is over and done

I'm feeling young again, wild and free

Like a brand new chapter has just begun

Yeah, the college miles are in the rearview

And my favorite days are right on track

The front door's open wide for you

I finally got my best friend back

I saved a spot right here on the sofa

For whatever movie you wanna play

If it's one you love, we're gonna watch it

And laugh the afternoon away

We can hit the mall and walk the aisles

Or go out to eat and share a meal

You don't even know the joy you're bringing

Or how young you're making me feel

Omara, you’re finally coming home to me

And the heavy wait is over and done

I'm feeling young again, wild and free

Like a brand new chapter has just begun

Yeah, the college miles are in the rearview

And my favorite days are right on track

The front door's open wide for you

I finally got my best friend back

I watched you grow into this woman

So proud of everything you do

But the greatest gift of all, Omara

Is the friendship I have with you

The bags are unpacked in the hallway

And the light in the house has returned

Omara, you’re finally coming home to me

And the heavy wait is over and done

I'm feeling young again, wild and free

Like a brand new chapter has just begun

Yeah, the college miles are in the rearview

And my favorite days are right on track

The front door's open wide for you

I finally got my best friend back

Yeah, I finally got my best friend back
