In a Little While
Got a ticket coming home,
Wish the officer had know
What a day today has been
Then I stumbled through the door,
Dropping junk mail on the floor
When will this day end
But then your letter caught my eye, brought the hope in me to life
Cause you know me very well
And I bet you wrote me just to tell me
In a little while we’ll be with the father, can’t you see him smile
In a little while we’ll be home forever, in a while
We’re just here to learn to love him
We’ll be home in just a little while.
Boy that letter hit the spot
Made me think of all I’ve got
And all that waits for me
Guess I’ve known it all day long
Wonder where my thoughts went wrong
When will my heart believe
Waking half way through the night
Reaching toward the lamp that lights
Picking up the word I find
Here’s another letter to remind me
In a little while we’ll be with the father, can’t you see him smile
In a little while we’ll be home forever, in a while
We’re just here to learn to love him
We’ll be home in just a little while.
Days like these are just a test of our will
Will we walk or will we fall
Well I can almost see the top of the hill
And I believe it’s worth it all
In a little while we’ll be with the father, can’t you see him smile
In a little while we’ll be home forever, in a while
We’re just here to learn to love him
We’ll be home in just a little while.
In a little while we’ll be with the father, can’t you see him smile
In a little while we’ll be home forever, in a while
We’re just here to learn to love him
We’ll be home in just a little while.
