"Willie We Have Missed You"

Willie We Have Missed You.
    1.
Oh Willie is it you dear
 Safe safe at home
They did not tell me true dear
 They said you would not come
I heard you at the gate
 And it made my heart rejoice
For I knew that welcome footstep
 And that dear familiar voice
 making  on
'Twas music to my ear
 In the lonely midnight gloom
Oh Willie we have missed your
 Welcome welcome home
    2. 
We've longed to see you nightly
 But this night of all
The fire was blazing brightly
 And lights were in the hall
The little ones were up
 Till 'twas ten oclock and past
Then their eyes began to twinkle
 And they've gone to sleep at last
But they listened for your voice
 Till they thought you'd never come
Oh Willie we have missed you
 Welcome welcome home
