As I lie here in bed, your smile fills my head

And I'm using this pen to talk to you, from a southern way

It's been weeks since I've seen you last

The time away from you ain't moving too fast

Wishing my summer away just to see you again



I'm there by your side, lookin in your eyes

Seeing you with me, what else could there be?

If I could get away I'd be there today

You'd be wearing that smile

Haven't see you for a while



I wake up everyday, go through the same routine

Go to work, come home, what does it all really mean?

Check the mail just hoping to find,

another note from you could ease my mind

It's 5:15; I can picture you driving home from you same old scene

In five you'll hear the phone ringing, have to settle for talking again



I can picture you now, you're standing outside your house

The breeze is blowing off your northern shore

Now I'm loving you more

I long for the days when there are no goodbyes

Wish I could see you, wipe the tears from your eyes

Tell you everything's all right, lay you down

Say to you goodnight
