I'm trying real hard, hard not to care 
But I miss you my dear won't you come back 
Three weeks and then four no more nights 
Turning to days to be spent with you 

I'll look for nightly phone calls from you 
Telling me that one day has come and gone 
I'll be home soon if you miss me 
Count down the days until my return 
I'll be counting too I always do 

I don't know how I'll get through this 
But don't worry I will 
Your words they cut right through this 
Please tell me you still care 

I need you here, only here just for me 
You're the one that I love 
I can't take it 
So close to the end you're almost home Now please hurry cause 
I'll be waiting for you I always do 

I don't know how I'll get through this 
But don't worry I will 
Your words they cut right through this 
Please tell me you still care 

Cause I'm waiting for 
Your return to come back home 
I need you more than you could know 
And I could never let you go 

I don't know how I'll get through this 
But don't worry I will 
Your words they cut right through this (once again) 
Please tell me you still care
