These are the nights that I love the best
When we set a place at the table for an unexpected guest.
For we have love and light and food enough to share,
And if you bring an extra friend, we’ll just pull up another chair.
Come and walk in the dream awhile with me–
Come, be my home, be my chosen family.
Now the fire beckons, and its glow will start to bring
The memories of an old song and a new one yet to sing.
And we’ll tell an old war story we all know the ending to,
And if you have to leave, we know you’ll take a piece of us with you.
Come and walk in the dream awhile with me–
Come, be my home, be my chosen family.
My family is my home where I can safely rest,
It’s chosen in love, and by this love is blessed.
And even in a foreign land or campaign ‘cross the sea,
These are the ones I love, this is my chosen family.
Come and walk in the dream awhile with me–
Come, be my home, be my chosen family.
