Lately I've been thinking how life has been
And lately I've been thinking 'Do you think of me?'
Lately I've been thinking will you come back again
Lately I've been thinking ... when

Darling come home, I'm missing you so
I miss you more than you'll ever know
Darling come home, I'll make it all right
Darling come home ... tonight

Lately I've been looking for the light in your eyes
And lately I've been looking at the stars in the sky
Lately I've been looking and I just don't know why
When lately I've been looking ... I cry

Darling come home, I'm missing you so
I miss you more than you'll ever know
Darling come home, I'll make it all right
Darling come home ... tonight

Darling come home, I'm missing you so
I miss you more than you'll ever know
Darling come home, I'll make it all right
Darling come home ... tonight

Lately I've been praying you're still OK
And lately I've been praying you'll be home someday
Lately I've been praying that you'll hear me say
That lately I've been praying ... this way

Darling come home, I'm missing you so
I miss you more than you'll ever know
Darling come home, I'll make it all right
Darling come home ... tonight
Darling come home, I pray that you might
Find your way home
I can't make it alone
Darling come home
... tonight

Song Info
A gentle country waltz-time number, perfect for reminiscing and maybe some regrets too.

This song almost wrote itself in ten minutes, and then we spent a few days simplifying the arrangement and refining the lyrics to produce a simple and effective change of mood from the quintessential positive jiva jingle jangle.

'Lately' was commended in the 2012 UK Songwriting Competition (‘Country Music’ category) – the score indicated that “the writer(s) demonstrated genuine songwriting ability and understanding, having above average composition skills and that the song nearly made it into the semi finals“.
 

'I miss you more
than you'll ever know'
