Feels Like Home
Harris Ronstadt & Parton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
The song “Feels Like Home” by Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris, is a powerful love song that perfectly captures the feeling of finding one’s true love. The lyrics speak about the overwhelming sense of belonging and comfort that one can experience when they meet the person who is meant to be a part of their life. From the very first line, “Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself,” the song speaks of a powerful connection between two people that is both emotional and physical.
Both the voice and the touch of the beloved are described as having profound effects on the singer’s heart, and the feeling of being with this person is likened to being “all the way back where I come from” and “where I belong.” The reference to a window breaking down a dark street and a siren wailing in the night suggests that the world around the singer can be a chaotic and frightening place, but with the comfort and security of their love, they can see some light even in the darkest of places.
Overall, “Feels Like Home” is a beautiful love song that explores the depth of emotion that can be felt when two people truly connect.

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.

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.

You don't look old :-)

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

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!!!
