Where You Belong

I find him in his reading chair
When he looks up and sees I'm there
He stands in wonder
He chokes up as he says my name
Explaining why he never came to me
I hug him

I tell him I've been busy too
So everything's okay
He's proud to see how strong I am
And then at last I hear him say

Go put the tea on, Oliver
It's you and me now, Oliver
Finally, just like it was long ago
And then some music, Oliver
I'll let you choose it, Oliver
Gladly, but first I want you to know
This is where you belong

La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la-la
La, la-la, la, la, la

I notice that this magazine
Was dusty, so I made it clean
Again, you're welcome
For me, the most amazing gift
Is seeing your expression shift to joy
When I help you

The morning wash is finished
And the post has all been sent
Now let me know if something else
Could help me make you more content

How much I owe you, Oliver
I need you so much, Oliver
Thank you
Someday I'll pay you in kind
Now light the fire, dear Oliver
How I admire that, Oliver
Know-how, and as you work, keep in mind
This is where you belong

La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la-la (la, la, la, la)
La, la-la, la, la, la (la, la, la)

And when other joys have passed away
You will still be here to guide me
Tomorrow, just as true as yesterday
You will be here, you will stay
Always here beside me

You are my anchor, Oliver
How can I thank you, Oliver, fully
For all the days that you spend
Time can't erase, dear Oliver
That you've a place here, Oliver, always
You have a home and a friend
This is where you belong
This is where you belong
This is where you belong

This is where you belong
La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la-la
La, la-la, la, la, la
