A Thousand Miles Away
New Edition · Under the Blue Moon
Oh, but I still have your love to remember you by
Oh my darling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon
On my knees everyday
All I do is pray just for you
Hope you'll always want me too
Daddy's coming home soon
It may be on a Sunday morning
It may be on a Tuesday afternoon
But no matter what the day is
I'm going to make it my business to get home soon
You're a thousand miles away
Oh, but I still have your love to remember you by
Oh my darling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon
Daddy's coming home soon
You're a thousand miles away
See you soon baby
