Been gone so long, didn't plan it that way
I've been thinking it over almost every day
Can't tell you how much I've missed you
How can I count the many ways
I know I can't stay forever,
For who knows when I may leave
But for now, I'm coming home again
To share my love and family
Why can't we stay together,
I don't think I'll ever know
It really doesn't matter
As long as we both know
My loves for you forever
Even though at times we part
But tonight I'll be at home again
For the love that fills my heart
I know that you're still there an waiting
By the telephone each night
To hear my call to tell you
You are my love my life
