Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I can't believe that I'm here having to say goodbye
And I can barely see you through these tears I cry
I close my eyes
I can hear the sound
As angels gather 'round
Saying this is where you belong
Welcome home
There are the days that my heart aches wishing you were here
But I know where you are the hurt and the pain disappear
There's no more tears
What a lovely sound
Angels all around
Saying this is where you belong
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home
