As days go by   I'm missing you, baby   Patiently waiting   For you to hold you   To thrill you, to feel you      Tender kisses   Give you the love you've been missing   Boy, I can't wait till you come back home   To have you all alone      I'm missing you, baby   Patiently waiting   For you, to hold you   To thrill you, to feel you      Tender kisses   Give you the love you've been missing   Boy, I can't wait till you come back home   To have you all alone      Now I done came a long way but ain't gone too far   And hope this love letter don't leave a big scar   So baby, just hold on, lil' momma just be strong   'Cause no one knew the war would last us so long      The rockets, the red glare, the bombs up in the air   I'm just doing my duty but missin' it right there   So as days go by I'm counting every minute   Wishing I was home for sure with you in it      But the soldiers that I'm runnin' with are ready to blitz   This ain't no video, this is just as real as it gets   I made some lifelong friends holdin' down the front line   And girl, I can't wait to get back in your sunshine      As days go by   I'm missing you, baby   Patiently waiting   For you, to hold you   To thrill you, to feel you      Tender kisses   Give you the love you've been missing   Boy, I can't wait till you come back home   To have you all alone      I'm missing you, baby   Patiently waiting   For you, to hold you   To thrill you, to feel you      Tender kisses   Give you the love you've been missing   Boy, I can't wait till you come back home   To have you all alone      Now as days go by, my time is spent reflecting   On all the lil' things you said I was neglecting   They say you never know what you have until it's gone   Didn't know back then but I will from now on      When I try to channel out all the fear and the stress   I picture me and you rollin', looking dressed to impress   And to know you'll be there when I'm back from Iraq   And feel good to know a real chica I have on my back      Give everybody hugs and tell 'em I really miss 'em   And your boy be back when I'm through with my mission   Give everybody hugs and tell 'em I really miss 'em   And your boy be back when I'm through with my mission      As days go by   I'm missing you, baby   Patiently waiting   For you, to hold you   To thrill you, to feel you      Tender kisses   Give you the love you've been missing   Boy, I can't wait till you come back home   To have you all alone      I'm missing you, baby   Patiently waiting   For you, to hold you   To thrill you, to feel you      Tender kisses   Give you the love you've been missing   Boy, I can't wait till you come back home   To have you all alone      As days go by   As days go by      One day we gon' get it together   One day we gon' get it together   One day we gon' get it together   One day we gon' get it together   As days go by      One day we gon' get it together   One day we gon' get it together   One day we gon' get it together   One day we gon' get it together   As days go by
