I gotta go now, wish you could know
how much I would love to stay
I'm gonna miss you
I'll keep your picture here with me every day
It ain't gon' be easy but baby, believe me
We're gonna make it through
Yeah, we've gotta be strong, it won't be too long
I'm gonna be back soon

Baby, say you'll wait for me
I promise that I'll never take too long
Baby, say you'll pray for me
And think about me when I'm gone
Please just keep the lights on
Soon enough I'll be coming home
Just baby, say you'll wait for me
I promise that I'll never take too long

I'm pretty far now, breaking my heart
how I can't put my arms round you
Every night I'm dreaming
about the things that we used to do
I know it took longer
and sometimes you wonder
if you're running out of faith
Baby, don't say that I'm on my way back
I will not be late

Baby, say you'll wait for me
I promise that I'll never take too long
Baby, say you'll pray for me
And think about me when I'm gone
Please just keep the lights on
And soon enough I'll be coming home
Just baby, say you'll wait for me
I promise that I'll never take too long

Too long
Too long
Too long
I'll never take too long
Too long
Too long

Whenever our song is playing
I think 'bout the springtime, baby
I hope that my letters reached you
I hope that you know I need you
Whenever you really miss me
Just know that you're right here with me
You're right here with me, baby

Baby, say you'll wait for me
I promise that I'll never take too long
Baby, say you'll pray for me
And think about me when I'm gone
Please just keep the lights on
'Cause soon enough I'll be coming home
Just baby, say you'll wait for me
I promise that I'll never take too long

Too long
Too long
Too long
I'll never take too long
Too long
Too long
