Suppertime Lyrics - Alabama

Many years ago in days of childhood 

I used to play till evening shadows come 

And then winding down that old familiar pathway 

I heard my mother call at set of sun 

"Come home, come home, it's suppertime 

The shadow's lengthen fast 

Come home, come home, it's suppertime 

We're going home at last" 

Some of the fondest memories of my childhood 

Are woven around suppertime 

When Mama used to call out from the back steps 

To the old home place, "Come on home, son, it's suppertime"

Oh, how I'd love to hear those words once more 

But you know for me, time is woven in the realization of the truth 

That's even more thrilling 

And that's when the call comes from the portals of glory 

To come on home, it's suppertime

"Come home, come home, it's suppertime 

The shadow's lengthen fast 

Come home, come home, it's suppertime 

We're going home at last, we're going home at last" 

When all God's children shall gather 'round the table 

With the Lord Himself at the greatest suppertime of them all
