When I left it was starting to rain
She was still fast asleep
A dream and a song away
I got on the plane to L.A.
I know it's heartbreaking
The time that I'm taking
The tears that you're crying
I know that you're dying
Cause I'm going away
And you know I can't take you with me
And time ain't gonna stop today
But I hope that you're waiting for me
When I get back home
Back home to you
I fall to my knees and pray
This world ain't gonna get down on me
I feel like I'm so far away
But I smile as I turn the page
My heart is falling but my dream keeps calling
The life that I'm living
Is so unforgiving
I've been away for so long
But I'll never do you wrong
Cause baby I'm coming home
