Far away the roads may lead you from me
As I worry and fight with feelings as they be
Miles to travel and driving where others do
Things can happen as we never expect them
to
So worry I will until you walk back in the door
And each moment you are away, God... I'll miss you more
Miles to travel and time that you're away
I'll be so lonesome without you every day
Winter travel makes my heart so uneasy to rest
Until I know you're safe, pounding will be my chest
For I cannot ever imagine a day without you
I love you so much and I know that my love is true
Miles to travel and so far away you will go
But no matter what...my love is with you, I hope you know
Just be careful and come back to me real soon
For each night I am with you under the same moon
The stars shine in the sky over our head each night
But mine won't be so sparkling and so bright
For as time and miles we are so far apart
Miles to travel, as you keep with you my heart
