| Billy Gilman - When You Come Home Video-idea for Billy's latest release, and possibly new single, "When You Come Home". This is just my idea of a music video for this song. If I got to be the director, this is probably what I'd do. The pictures support camera-angles, actions, expressions, scenes and surroundings. The clothes are what I chose for Billy and the actors to "wear" and the text tells what's happening because the pics can't always tell. I used pictures of random boys for the first scene, pictures of Tom Welling for the second scene and pictures of a random adult for the last scene. It's as if Billy's telling the story of another guy's life. Lyrics: My first day of recess, they all laughed at me When I fell off the swing set and scraped up my knee The nurse called my mama to say I'd be late And when she gave me the phone I could hear mama say I'm sorry son, oh I think you're so brave And she was smiling when she said When you come home, no matter how far Run through the door and into my arms It's where you are loved, it's where you belong And I will be here When you come home I waved goodbye through the window and boarded the plane My first job in Houston was waiting for me I found a letter from mama tugged in my coat And as I fueled down the runway I smiled when she wrote I'll miss you son, you'll be so far away And I'll be waiting for the day When you come home, no matter how far Run through the door and into my arms It's where you are loved, it's where you belong And I will be here When you come home I don't think she can hear how the doctor told me Your mama is fading, it's best that you leave So I whispered "I love you" then turned away But I stopped at the door when I heard mama say I love you son, but they're calling me away And promise me before I go When you come home, no matter how far Run through the door and into my arms It's where you are loved, it's where you belong And I will be here When you come home When you come home When you come home Wikipedia-bio: Billy Gilman (born William Wendell Gilman III May 24, 1988) is a Grammy-nominated country music singer-songwriter.
