• The miles seem so long again
    I cannot seem, to reach the end
    of this road
    of the long miles I've got to go
    but I'll keeping moving for you
    because there are so many things I
    still want to do
    but I

    took the long way home
    to find the place where I belong
    I took the long way home
    so I could write this song
    before I see your face
    that smiling charm
    and that sweet embrace I await
    the day
    the night
    your eyes so bright
    I hope you're waiting
    cuz I'm at the end of that road_____

    Just two more years
    and we will have it big
    please baby dry your tears
    and please listen to me
    I hope you know
    my word's pure as gold
    when I say I'll be there to hold you tight
    And with one last goodbye
    I hope you don't cry
    because I'll be coming home tonite
    but i

    took the long way home
    to find the place where I belong
    I took the long way home
    so I could write this song
    before I hold you close
    up against my chest
    in the moon light's glow
    I feel so blessed
    to be holding you in my arms
    so close to my heart and I'll know
    that I'm finally home

    and so please don't cry
    when I say goodbye
    for the last time
    because I'll never have to say it again
    you will be right there
    as I hold you with care
    and I can't help but stare
    into your eyes, and feel at home again

    I took the long way home
    and look where it got me
    I took the long way home
    and all I can see
    is your face, and your arms open wide
    tears rolling down your cheek
    no longer for GOODBYES
    only hellos and I love you
    and the sweet things I say to you
    and I know it was long
    but I'm finally home, home, home,
    but I'm finally where I belong
    I made my way back home.
