Edit 2 for headphones, September 2021. Source file is from the cd "The Lovin' Spoonful Anthology" (Rhino Records R2 70944). This is a masterpiece from the sixties, a piece of art by John Sebastian and his friends, guitar player Zal Yanovsky, drummer-singer Joe Butler and bass player Steve Boone. Artie Schroeck did the arrangement for the strings and horns, he also played tambourine.
In 1967 it was for nine weeks in the Dutch charts, highest position 15. It was eight weeks in the US billboard top 100, peaked at 15. In Canada 8, UK 44. Australia 90. How retarded countries can be...
DARLING BE HOME SOON
(John Sebastian)
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
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
go, and beat your crazy head against the sky
try, and see beyond the houses and your eyes
it's okay to shoot the moon
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
