Don't Be Long

Don’t be long now you’re gone

Though I don’t know how far you might be

You’re seeing things that I’ll never see

On your own so think of me

‘Cause I know you had to go

Still I hated saying goodbye

But I had to keep the tears from my eyes

And carry on

So please don’t be long

I was only waiting for the day

And I knew the time would come

So now I pray everyday

They’re gonna bring you back where you belong

You can reach if you try

And feel the love I hold here inside

May it speed you on your way ‘cross the sky

’Til you’re home

Don’t be long

Don’t be long now you’re gone

Though I don’t know how far you might be

When you’ve seen the things you needed to see

Come on home, home to me

Come on home across the galaxy

Come on home, don’t be long
