Counting The Days

To you, one month isn't that long time
If you're content and doin' whatever you're doin'
But I'm six thousand miles from my woman
And I'm going crazy counting the days
Every week seems like a year

Night brings the worst hours to get through
Reminding me of the way she'd fall asleep in my arms
I don't drop off to sleep like I used to
I lie awake now, counting the days
And dreaming of my love

Wake up, another day just hit me
I was dreaming I'd be sleeping with my love
Get up, did she send me a letter?
Why am I always counting the days
And there's nothing I can do?

Time goes too quickly when I'm with her
But when we're parted, I feel we're standing still
Time keeps me feeling like a prisoner
It doesn't feel right counting the days
When I should be with my love

I got one consolation
Sometimes helps me hurry my time along
I know she misses me as badly
And I know she's counting the days
And feeling like I do
