Feels Like Home
Emmylou Harris Linda Ronstadt & Dolly Parton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself in your arms
There's something in your voice makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there's light
If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you know how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me




Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A perfect song, sung perfectly. So poignant to think Linda can no longer share her beautiful voice.

Amy Sims

I love this song so much, it really called me home a lot!!!

Becky Knight

I never really appreciated Linda's voice until I discovered how versatile she is. Such a cruel thing that she can no longer sing as she once did. This is like a bird who can't fly or sing. We love you Linda.

April Jo

This song has so much meaning to me now that I'm old. The folks we knew and grew up with are deeper ingrained in our memories and hearts than what we ever realize. Such a beautiful song that exemplifies just that.

Paul R

You don't look old :-)

DeeAnna DeVasher Edens

JaminGammy

A match made in heaven❣️ I've often wondered how these 3 ever got together to make such beautiful music together. I've always wanted to know how they meet and decided to sing together. Just can't top these 3 beautiful voices! 3 BEAUTIFUL WOMEN❣️

Donnie Hagy

What a beautiful song and what angelic voices to do it justice!

Andy Davidson

Every time that I try to sing along with Linda I cry because I can no longer hear that beautiful voice.

SHARRON CRANDELL

Linda is amazing fell in love with her voice in the '60's & 70's. She could sing the phone book and I'd love it. So sad she can no longer share her amazing gift with the world but we have all the incredible albums she made for all our memories. Take care Linda!!!
