Coming Home es un álbum de Lionel Richie, publicado en 2006 por Island Def Jam Music Group. El disco incluye 11 canciones, entre ellas «I Call It Love», «Sweet Vacation», «Why» y «What You Are».
Sobre el álbum
Con Coming Home, de 2006, Lionel Richie se sumerge de lleno en el sonido del R&B y el hip-hop soul contemporáneo. Para ello, se rodea de un equipo de los productores más importantes del género en ese momento, como Jermaine Dupri, Raphael Saadiq o el dúo noruego Stargate. Es su trabajo más urbano y moderno hasta la fecha.
El sonido del álbum está dominado por ritmos de R&B suaves, bajos profundos y una producción sofisticada. El disco busca conectar directamente con la audiencia más joven y con los seguidores del R&B actual. Es un intento valiente de reinvención.
El álbum contiene el single "I Call It Love", una pieza de R&B de medio tiempo que tuvo una buena acogida. Mientras tanto, la voz de Lionel Richie se desliza con una suavidad y una elegancia innatas sobre estas bases más modernas.
"Coming Home" ("Volviendo a casa") es un título irónico, ya que musicalmente es uno de sus discos más alejados de su sonido clásico. Es una obra interesante y bien producida que demuestra la voluntad de una leyenda de seguir dialogando con el presente de la música negra.

Letra
It's been this many years It's been that many years And still have to ask the same question Why? Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night When you and me would kiss at night Remember what we tripped like Why don't it feel like felt on the first night Now it's so hard to find two words to say Funny me, funny you Don't have nothing lft in common You wanted me to have your heart Now you want it back What about the promise you made to me That you wouldn't trade the key in for no damn reason And suddenly we're flying high Now it's Mayday we're falling fast You're trying to get lost I'm trying to pull up And damn I can't say You said you didn't need me I really didn't think that you would leave me Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night When you and me would kiss at night Remember what we tripped like Why don't it feel like felt on the first night Now it's so hard to find two words to say Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night When we were saying things like where have you been all my life Why don't it feel like felt on the first night Now it's so hard to find two words to say Now the kids are looking at me like I'm to blame No longer got their respect for me Don't want to hear what I'm saying I know how it feels to be ashamed Cause when I was young I felt that pain too And I can't say nothing that would cause you to make a change And that's the reason that we're going our separate ways Then who am I fooling What am I doing thinking you love me Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night When you and me would kiss at night Remember what we tripped like Why don't it feel like felt on the first night Now it's so hard to find two words to say Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night When we were saying things like where have you been all my life Why don't it feel like felt on the first night Now it's so hard to find two words to say You would think by this time I would get it right Know the schemes and the things that make it be right When you said you could stay no longer I thought I had just a little more daylight LIke when we use to turn a fight into a good night I know the things I use to do to make you feel right I would give anything the fortune I made To bring back the days that the feeling was so right Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night When you and me would kiss at night Remember what we tripped like Why don't it feel like felt on the first night Now it's so hard to find two words to say Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night When we were saying things like where have you been all my life Why don't it feel like felt on the first night Now it's so hard to find two words to say Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night When you and me would kiss at night Remember what we tripped like Why don't it feel like felt on the first night Now it's so hard to find two words to say Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night When we were saying things like where have you been all my life Why don't it feel like felt on the first night Now it's so hard to find two words to say Why the dreams we had we threw them all away Why the dreams we had we let them slip away - What You Are4:12
Letra
It's four in the morning and I'm sitting here at night I'm writing you this song to say what's on my mind I'm leaving in an hour and you won't be up in time to say goodbye (so whoa) I'm putting this on tape (baby you're wonderful) I really mean it babe (more than you will ever know) I wish that I could stay (but I gotta go) I'll be back in the meantime Keep in mind that You are Is something to big for words And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse Cause what you are A beautiful mother to your kids Sometimes it slips my mind so in case I forget Girl you are better than (anything) I ever had You are the perfect love Never give you up Because you are my heart and soul my breath Take it all till nothings left Cause baby you are Now no man has ever loved his woman LIke I love you girl you know it's true And no man can ever say he does a woman better than I do you Cause that ain't true (here's what I do) Send you fresh-cut roses every day of the week Take you shopping whenever But more importantly Wrap my loving arms around you To reassure everything I felt that first night I feel it more - Up All Night3:35

There's a cold wind that's into my heart There's woman tearing me apart There's avoice I hear of every word that she said I'm going out of my head There's a feeling I get every night There's a thing I miss about holding her tight There's an emptiness I just want her here in my bed I'm going out of my head Sentimental fool in love am I Thinking that true love would never die I know she said goodbye But I ain't giving in If I give her just a little while She might see me again Sentimental fool in love am I Thinking that true love would never die I know that it's all wrong But I'll think this instead Wish I could get her back again I'm going out of my head - Reason To Believe4:45
