'come home' songs

[honeybee]

Im putting together a cd of songs for a guy that is very special to me, someone who got shipped off to Kuwait back in Feb. We had just begun to date when he left, but I was crazy about him, and wanted to send him a homemade music cd with some "I miss you" and "come home" songs..
ANyone have any ideas for good songs? Thanks!

i spose the classic i can think of is "darling be home soon"
that The Lovin' Spoonful & Slade did
written by a fairly famous 60's guy
(cant remember who now..think he did woodstock)

Come
And talk of all the things we did today
Here
And laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
Then I know that it's time you must leave

But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now
A quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Go
And beat your crazy head against the sky
Try
And see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon

So darling
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

lol ..toddled, dawdled..
i dont remember that...
but anyway it still sorta brings a tear..
even just to read..

john sebastian wrote it (he went to woodstock), but the the version i like best is by joe cocker (who was there too).

... i hadn't heard that song in so long ... after you mentioned it, i got it ... it is beautiful, Multi ... lyrics beautiful ... i was sitting here listening to the one slade did, it was a live version ... so pretty, eyes closed ... swaying to the smooth sounds of slade, taking me away ... mmmmm, so nice ... when all of a sudden ... what was that?? did he belch??? um, kinda wrecked the mood a little ... hehe ... so if you decide on including this one in your cd ... you might want to stick to the lovin' spoonful, slade's not-live, or cocker's version ... unless you're looking for a little comic relief ...

... sending you postive thoughts, Honeybee, while you are apart ...
