As days go by
I'm missing you, baby
Patiently waiting
For you to hold you
To thrill you, to feel you

Tender kisses
Give you the love you've been missing
Boy, I can't wait till you come back home
To have you all alone

I'm missing you, baby
Patiently waiting
For you, to hold you
To thrill you, to feel you

Tender kisses
Give you the love you've been missing
Boy, I can't wait till you come back home
To have you all alone

Now I done came a long way but ain't gone too far
And hope this love letter don't leave a big scar
So baby, just hold on, lil' momma just be strong
'Cause no one knew the war would last us so long

The rockets, the red glare, the bombs up in the air
I'm just doing my duty but missin' it right there
So as days go by I'm counting every minute
Wishing I was home for sure with you in it

But the soldiers that I'm runnin' with are ready to blitz
This ain't no video, this is just as real as it gets
I made some lifelong friends holdin' down the front line
And girl, I can't wait to get back in your sunshine

As days go by
I'm missing you, baby
Patiently waiting
For you, to hold you
To thrill you, to feel you

Tender kisses
Give you the love you've been missing
Boy, I can't wait till you come back home
To have you all alone

I'm missing you, baby
Patiently waiting
For you, to hold you
To thrill you, to feel you

Tender kisses
Give you the love you've been missing
Boy, I can't wait till you come back home
To have you all alone

Now as days go by, my time is spent reflecting
On all the lil' things you said I was neglecting
They say you never know what you have until it's gone
Didn't know back then but I will from now on

When I try to channel out all the fear and the stress
I picture me and you rollin', looking dressed to impress
And to know you'll be there when I'm back from Iraq
And feel good to know a real chica I have on my back

Give everybody hugs and tell 'em I really miss 'em
And your boy be back when I'm through with my mission
Give everybody hugs and tell 'em I really miss 'em
And your boy be back when I'm through with my mission

As days go by
I'm missing you, baby
Patiently waiting
For you, to hold you
To thrill you, to feel you

Tender kisses
Give you the love you've been missing
Boy, I can't wait till you come back home
To have you all alone

I'm missing you, baby
Patiently waiting
For you, to hold you
To thrill you, to feel you

Tender kisses
Give you the love you've been missing
Boy, I can't wait till you come back home
To have you all alone

As days go by
As days go by

One day we gon' get it together
One day we gon' get it together
One day we gon' get it together
One day we gon' get it together
As days go by

One day we gon' get it together
One day we gon' get it together
One day we gon' get it together
One day we gon' get it together
As days go by
