Alvin & The Chipmunks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, you shine bright
Brighter than all the stars
Brighter than fireworks
So, I give you all my love

And you're perfection
Even in your mistakes
Give affection
Even when your heart aches
When I'm away
You're who I'm thinking of
Because

You are my home, home, home
Wherever I may roam
You are the place where
I can rest my weary bones
You are my home, home, home
You are my home, home, home

You're a diamond (brightening)
Brightening my cloudy skies (sparkling)
Sparkling all through the night (light)
Light me up like fireflies

See you shining
Even in the darkness
Stand beside me
When I don't deserve it
That's why I say
I give you all my love
Because

You are my home, home, home
Wherever I may roam
You are the place where
I can rest my weary bones
You are my home, home, home
You are my home, home, home

You're my number one, there's no doubt
And we stick together throughout
Like boy scouts, we about
All for one 'till lights out
So dave, where you at?
Wave your hands, front to back
Everybody take a look around
At my dad, out in the crowd (oh)
I love you dad (oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)





You are my home, home, home
