Coming Back Soon

Morning steals the night

The sun breaks through the rain

A little girl is sleeping

While I pack to meet my plane

Then I kneel down by her bed

And I kiss her sleepy head

She hugs me tight

She knows I'm going away

CHORUS:

She says "tell me you're coming back soon

Now don't forget me

I want to be with you

If you'll tell me you're coming back soon

Then while you're gone

The days won't seem so long"

I watch my little girl

And start to understand

How God looks down from heaven

And we're children in His eyes

Even though we're far apart

He left behind His heart

Like a promise to return for us someday

CHORUS:

I know sometimes she feels so lost without me

The world is such a big confusing place

And it's then I pray she'll do the things I taught her

Remember right from wrong

Remember daddy's face

I know I'm going home

And hunger for that day

Just like the Lord is waiting

And He longs to hear us say

CHORUS
