[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition]
You're a thousand miles away
Oh, but I still have your love to remember you by
Oh my darling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon

[Verse 1: Ralph Tresvant]
On my knees every day
All I do is pray, baby, just for you
Hope you'll always want me too
Daddy's coming home soon

[Bridge: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition]
It may be on a Sunday morning
It may be on a Tuesday afternoon
But no matter what the day is
I'm going to make it my business to get home soon

[Outro: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition]
You're a thousand miles away
Oh, but I still have your love to remember you by
Oh my darling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon

Daddy's coming home soon
You're a thousand miles away
Daddy's coming home soon
You're a thousand miles away
See you soon, baby...
