She said I'm gonna miss but we'll make it through
He said I'm only doing what I have to do
She held on to him until security
He said I'd better go, the plane's about to leave
And as he walked away he could hear her say

I'll be waiting for you til you come home again
I'll be waiting until the miles between us end
Every night I'm gonna be right here baby
On my knees praying and waiting for you

He called the other night to say it won't be long
She said every day's forever when you're gone
He said I never thought that I could love you more
Now I know I do and that's worth waiting for
They were both in tears
And she said I'll be here

And I'll be waiting for you til you come home again
I'll be waiting until the miles between us end
Every night I'm gonna be right here baby
On my knees praying and waiting

Til I can feel you in my arms
And all this emptiness is gone

I'll be waiting for you til you come home again
I'll be waiting until the miles between us end
Every night I'm gonna be right here baby
On my knees praying and waiting for you
I'll be waiting
