If the sun had its way it would shine all the time
If a nickel had its way I bet it'd be a dime
If it was up to sailors they'd forever be at sea
If I had it my way you'd be on your way home to me
I been counting the days
Since you went away
Heaven knows they drag by
I can hardly wait until you come home to stay
When time refuses to fly
If the sun had its way it would shine all the time
If a nickel had its way I bet it'd be a dime
If it was up to sailors they'd forever be at sea
If I had it my way you'd be on your way home to me
Heaven can't deny that I've been patient
Waiting here for you to come home
Until you do I have to go on waiting
So I'm waiting
Waiting here alone
If the sun had its way it would shine all the time
If a nickel had its way I bet it'd be a dime
If it was up to sailors they'd forever be at sea
If I had it my way you'd be on your way home to me
If I had it my way you'd be on your way home to me
