[Intro]
This song is dedicated to all the lovers who can't be together Separated by distance and time

[Verse 1]
You are always on my mind
All I do is count the days
Where are you now?
I know I'll never let you down
I will never go away

[Pre-Chorus]
I really wish that you would stay, but what would we do?
All the days that you've been gone, I dream about you
And I anticipate the day that you will come home, home, home

[Chorus]
No matter how far you are
No matter how long it takes him
Through distance and time
I'll be waiting
And if you have to walk a million miles
I'll wait a million days to see you smile
Distance and time, I'll be waiting, mm-hmm
Distance and time, I'll be waiting

[Verse 2]
Will you take a train, to meet me where I am?
Are you on your way?
And I will never do anything to hurt you
I'll never live without you

[Pre-Chorus]
I really wish that you would stay, but what would we do?
All the days that you've been gone, I dream about you
And I anticipate the day that you will come home, home, home

[Chorus]
No matter how far you are
No matter how long it takes him
Distance and time, I'll be waiting
And if you have to walk a million miles
I'll wait a million days to see you smile
Distance and time, I'll be waiting
No matter how far you are
No matter how long it takes him
Distance and time, I'll be waiting
And you can walk a million miles
I'll wait a million days to see your smile
Through distance and time, I'll be waiting

[Outro]
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting (Oh, whoa, whoa)
Oh, whoa, whoa
Through distance and time, I'll be waiting
You are always on my mind
All I do is count the days
Where are you now?
