It's been a long time
and I hope you're doing fine
I just wanted to write you a letter
saying hi and explaining why
Why you mean so much to me
well the reason is plain you see
You were always there when I needed you
and I wanted to let you know
Chorus:
You've gotta be strong
and it won't be long
'cause I'm gonna do
all your time with you
I promise you I can and I will do
your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

I always did believe
that our love would be
stronger than the bars you were behind
and my heart always seems to find
find a reason to hold on
and a purpose to be strong
baby can't you see that I need you
and I know that you need me too

Chorus
You've gotta be strong
and it won't be long
'cause I'm gonna do
all your time with you
promise you I can and I will do
your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
no matter what I gotta do

Bridge
and I'm writin' with sincerity yeah
just to make you understand what you mean to me
and I can't wait 'til you come home
but I need you to be strong baby hold on

chorus 'til fade
