I'll be Home for Pesach (or, I'll be Home for Seders)

music by Kent Walter
revised lyrics by Nancy Illman

I'm dreaming tonight, of my mishpocha
even more than I usually do,
and although we both know it's a great big shlep,
Mama dear, I promise you...

I'll be home for Seder
You can count on me
Make brisket, please, and macaroons,
and brew some lemon tea...,

I may find the afikoman
but my true prize will be
after we bench and clear the table
and dry the silver 'til it gleams.

I'll be home for Pesach,
and we may stay up 'til two.
It's a mitzvah to tell the story,
so I'll be there with you.
