weeks, days, hours, minutes till i'll be home
weeks, days, hours, minutes till i'll be home
da-da-da da da-da da-da da da da-da
da-da-da da da-da da-da da da da-da

a kiss on the cheek in the old town park
carved your name in the shape of a heart
walked together hand in hand
i didn't feel the rain

and there's a picture girl
that hangs inside my mind
and there's a letter girl
say i'm doing fine
and there's a picture, girl
that hangs inside my mind
and there's a letter girl
say i'm doing fine

and i'm coming home now
it's been so long now
gonna get there somehow
praying you'll be there
coming home now
it's been so long now
gonna get there somehow
praying you'll be there

weeks, days, till i'll be there
children on the streets
still playing games
the smiles on the faces have never changed
i hope it's all the same
i didn't leave in vain

and there's a picture girl
that hangs inside my mind
and there's a letter girl
say i'm doing fine
and there's a picture, girl
that hangs inside my mind
and there's a letter girl
say i'm doing fine

and i'm coming home now
it's been so long now
gonna get there somehow
praying you'll be there
coming home now
it's been so long now
gonna get there somehow
praying you'll be there

dearly close words: i really want to see you
you're in my heart when overseas
i feel you close, and not so far
soon we'll be together, and this time it's forever

and i'm coming home now
its been so long now
gonna get there somehow
praying you'll be there

and i'm coming home now
it's been so long now
gonna get there somehow
praying you'll be there
coming home now
it's been so long now
gonna get there somehow
praying you'll be there
