Fiddler on the Roof Far From the Home I Love Lyrics

How can I hope to make you understand
Why I do what I do?
Why I must travel to a distant land,
Far from the home I love.

Once I was happily content to be
As I was where I was
Close to the people who are close to me
Here in the home I love.

Who could see that a man would come
Who would change the shape of my dreams?
Helpless now I stand with him
Watching older dreams grow dim

Oh what a melancholy choice this is
Wanting home, wanting him
Closing my heart to every hope but his
Leaving the home I love

There where my heart has settled long ago
I must go, I must go
Who could imagine I'd be wandering so
Far from the home I love
Yet there with my love I'm home.
