Lyrics
Counting The Days
(dedicated to our loved ones who are serving overseas)
By Victoria Clamp and Ray Palagy c. 2004
A million miles can come between us
That?s how near you are to me
No storm or war can stand between us
That?s how much you mean to me
I?m kissing you now
Can you feel me?
Counting the days until you come back
But I don?t know when that will be
Red rose, like you said, are by your picture
While you?re off writing history
All I can think of is tomorrow
Too hard to stay in my today
Don?t you forget you made a promise
Don?t let those be the last words I heard you say
I?m kissing you now
Do you feel me?
Counting the days until you come back
But I don?t know when that will be
Red roses, like you said, are by your picture
While you?re off writing history
People always ask about you
Could it be the light burning in your window
I could wait for you endlessly
I?m still standing in the place where you last saw me
