Come home to me
Come home to me
Back into my arms
Home where you belong
Come home to me
Come home to me
If home is where you are
Then home is way too far away

TV light of blue and white
Just can't fall asleep at night
Move over to the space where you should be
Even half way seem so far
Over mountains and diamond stars
Everybody has their own way home

Come home to me
Come home to me
Back into my arms
Home where you belong
Come home to me

Come home to me
If home is where you are
Home is way too far away

All my life I've dreamed of love
Never thought it would hurt this much
To kiss goodbye and wait for your return
So I'll be strong and hold on to
A picture and a thought of you
Getting all the love that you deserve

So come home to me
Come home to me
Back into my arms
Home where you belong
Come home to me
Come home to me
If home is where you are
Home is way too far away

If home is where you are
Then home is way too far away

who the fuck would say justin does it bettter? im a HUGE fan of justin but that's just mean.

[skittlefreak55]

In my opinion i say Ernie has a sweet voice. and everybody should shut the fuck up about Justin. this is not Justin's song. Ernie sang it better.. end of discussion! :)

@xxxpuresnowfall Your comment is pretty irrelevant to what I said. I never said anything like Bieber shouldn't cover songs he likes. Actually reading over my original comment I am trying to see where this attack came from. There is nothing I said that was inappropriate and false. I praised Ernie for being a genuine talented musician and made a small remark about Bieber being a tool used by large record labels as a means of making profit. Try understand how the industry works.

@MrBrentYoung That's just mean. I love this song, and Justin Bieber, but that's... that's just sick. You're gonna bash on an 18 year old boy, because he did a cover of a song he liked? I like Megan & Liz, two girls who sing on YouTube, but you don't see me running around comparing them to someone I don't like, like, Selena Gomez. Smh...

[Meldeln87]

dudeeee keeep it doing your awesome!!!

[nrgardenia]

sweet voice!

[AnikaClaire]

Who cares if Justin Bieber covered this song? I doubt he sang it better; even if he did, he doesn't have the talent to write it.

[TonyReategui]

good song!!!!  ilike

[TimothyHoweMusic]

Ernie Halter is the man! Check out my version! I hoe i do it justice! watch?v=LCXr53hx9-M&list=UUrRE­a7HMvPKErfWDGm3hKyw&index=1&fe­ature=plcp

[rekhjoshi]

@BeccaSS19 because justin bieber did a cover of this song. it isn't as good in my opinion 

[chalktipper]

It doesn't matter who sing this I think it's a beautiful song for everyone to appreciate alot of songs get covered but I bet the original artists don't mind when there collecting the royalties ! .

[MrBrentYoung]

Ernie writes and sings with passion and soul, which is so rare these days. I doubt Ernie wrote this for the sake of it, this obviously has some personal connection to him and connects the story to the audience through song, like any great singer songwriter of any generation has done. Bieber is a commercial tool for companies to make money from.
