Queensryche - Home Again lyrics

It's harder than I thought to be so far away So I thought I'd write this letter to you and explain For me it wasn't easy to raise the flag and leave But I thought that you should know how much you mean to me I won't be there to see you dance And hear you sing the songs we love So please be strong, it won't be long Till I'm home again You know you make me proud Because you're the one that I depend upon And when I return, I promise I'll never leave you alone again It's harder than I thought and you're so far away So I thought I'd write this letter to you and explain It was only a moment, I turned my head to wipe my eyes When I looked again I saw your smile that said goodbye Mama says don't worry 'Cause Daddy's brave and he's coming home But if I could change one thing I'd never let you go (never let you go) I want you here to see me dance And sing along to the songs we love So I'll be strong, it won't be long Till you're home again with me When it feels too much to take, I want you to know That I'm thinking 'bout you, making plans for when I'm home Why aren't you here? I wake up every night I check the front porch light Making sure it's shining bright And I'll be there to shine the light So you can find your way to me I'm feeling strong, but don't take too long Please come home to me And I'll be there to see you dance And hear you sing the songs I love So please abe strong, it won't be long Till I'm home again And I'll be there to see you dance And hear you sing the songs I love So please abe strong, it won't be long Till I'm home again Why aren't you here? I'm coming home Why aren't you here? I'm coming home Why aren't you here?
