"I've Come Back To Say I Love You" lyrics

I've Come Back To Say I Love You

I've come back to say I love you
One more time
I've come back to try to tell you
One last time
When I was here before
You were so unkind
So I've come back to say I love you
One more time

The hometown team was losing
Nine to three
An angry crowd was yelling
"Kill the referee"
A stranged dressed man set staring
At the fans
Got up and slowly made his way
To the announcement stand

The announcer asks
"Man, what's on your mind?
Do you wear that silly robe
And sandals all the time?"
As a tear rolled down the stranger's cheek
He walked up to the microphone
And he began to speak

"I've come back to say I love you
One more time
I've come back to try to tell you
One last time
When I was here before
You were so unkind
So I've come back to say I love you
One more time"

Half way round the world
That very day
A young boy was hit by speeding car
Quickly drove away
As the little boy laid dead there
On the street
The bearded man bent over
And kissed the small child's cheek

Then the little boy got up
And as started back to play
The stranger held him closer and said
"I love you
Be good
And be on your way"

The father of the boy just happened by
Without asking any questions
He laid out and cried
"Hey, crazy man
You leave my son alone"
In a fighting rage he beat the man
Till his heart was almost gone

Then he call the law
And they took the bearded man away
But the next morning
When they unlocked the prison's door
The stranger wasn't there anymore
But on the wall were some words
That read

"I've come back to say I love you
One more time
I've come back to try to tell you
One last time
When I was here before
You were so unkind
So I've come back to say I love you
One more time

I've come back to say I love you
One last time"
