Lyrics

Verse 1:
Lord, I?ve got to bow my head and believe You?re in control
Lord, I?m laying flay upon my face, give me the strength to hold
Lord, I try to focus on the blessings in my life,
But without her standing by my side, it makes me want to cry

Chorus:
I?m so far away and I feel so alone
I need to hear to You say that I?m going to make it home
I can?t feel my heart when I can?t feel her touch
Please return me Lord to the girl I love so much

Verse 2:
Lord my mind feels so dry and my body feels so worn
But Your healing hands can get my by these times I?ve felt so torn
Lord, I?m so thankful for the love she has for me
And I pray I?ll be the Godly man that she needs me to be

Chorus:
Now I?m so far away and I feel so alone
I need to hear to You say that I?m going to make it home
I can?t feel my heart when I can?t feel her touch
Please return me Lord to the girl I love so much

Bridge:
When I look into her eyes, there?s no more of this pain inside
Her love can bring it all back home

Chorus:
But now I?m so far away and I feel so alone
I need to hear to you say that I?m going to make it home
I can?t feel my heart when I can?t feel her touch
Please return me Lord to the girl I love so much

Please return me Lord to the girl, the girl I love so much
