John Williams - Far From The Home I Love lyrics
Your rating:
(Tevye) He asked you to leave your father and mother And join him in that frozen waste land and marry him there. (Hodel) No Papa, he did not asked me to go, I want to go (Tevye) Hodel! (Hodel) Papa! How can I hope to make you understand Why I do what I do, Why I must travel to a distant land, Far from the home I love. Once I was happily content to be As I was, where I was, Close to the people who are close to me, Here in the home I love. Who could see that a man could come Helpless now I stand with him, Watching older dreams grow dim. Oh, what a melancholy choice this is, Wanting home, wanting him, Closing my heart to ev'ry hope but his, Leaving the home I love, There where my heart has settled long ago I must go, I must go Who could imagine I'd be wand'ring so Far from the home I love Yet there with my love, I'm home. Papa, God alone knows when we shall see each other again (Tevye) Then we will leave it in his hands
