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
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've been away for so long
But I'll never do you wrong
Cause baby I'm coming home!
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
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.
