Lyrics

You looked at me and softly said goodbye
Only for twenty seven days
We both were left looking for reasons why
We have to love so far away

But don?t worry baby
Just call me when you get back home
So I know you made it safely
I?ll be waiting by my phone

Right now you?re flying over Birmingham (Alabama here we come)
Making your way across the sky (Wait for me I won?t be long)
I only pray that you will understand
That we won?t always have to cry

I see these pictures of us in my mind
Future scenes of me and you
You become more beautiful in time
I just grow more in love with you

But sometimes I wonder
This distance?s got me feeling like I just don?t know
Looking up at the Ohio sky
Saying don?t let her go
I can?t let you go

If I could drive tonight through Birmingham (Alabama here we come)
And these eleven hundred miles (Wait for me I won?t be long)
I?d be much better off than where I am
Without your North Florida smile

Will these words that we?re saying
The smiles on our faces
Through this time and distance be enough
Right now I?m waiting
All that I?m saying
Is girl that in the end I will choose us
In the end I will choose us

For sixteen months we had to live apart
Sometimes it seemed like sixteen years
Somehow I knew that we would make it through
Now we don?t worry bout those tears

And girl I am here
And Jenni it?s no surprise
Tallahassee see you in the morning
And forever in your eyes

We could drive tonight to Birmingham (Alabama here we come)
A little weekend get away (Wait for me I won?t be long)
Now I?ll always be there to hold your hand (Is there nothing more to say)
A life with you is worth the wait (Life with you is worth the wait)
