Alabama - Suppertime Lyrics

Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play 'til evening shadows would come
Then winding down that old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of sun.

Come home, come home, it's supper time
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's supper time
We're going home at last.

Spoken:
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Were woven around supper time
When momma used to call from the back steps
Of the old home place
Come on home, son, it's supper time
Oh, how I'd love to hear those words once more
But you know for me time has woven for me
A realization of truth that's even more thrilling
And that when the call from the portals of glory
To come on home, it's supper time.

Sang:
Come home, come home, it's supper time
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's supper time
We're going home at last.
We're going home at last.

Spoken:
When all of God's children shall gather round the table
With the Lord, Himself
At the greatest supper time of them all...
