Verse 1 (man) ~
The call came a little after twelve
Before the holidays
Just when things were going so well
He was hesitant to tell
His wife waiting at home
Knowing she’d be crushed
She didn’t take it so well
Intro Chorus ~
A distance apart and tears in their eyes
They had to be strong
Had to say goodbye
Verse 2 (woman) ~
Thousands of miles – between `em now
Each day they struggle
To keep a smile around
She stays by the phone, hoping it’ll be him when it rings
Hearing his voice – is the only thing
Helping her hold on – while he’s gone
Middle Chorus ~
Distance apart and tears in their eyes
They have to be strong
Have to get by
Duet Outro Chorus ~
Soon they will be together again
Angels have been protecting both of them
The distance between them doesn’t keep `em apart
Their connected with love, true love from the heart
Distance may have forced them apart, but they’re together – in love – forever
