Counting the Days Until You Come Home

Oh, the miles that keep us apart,

But you’re always in my heart,

Every day, I long for your embrace,

Counting down the moments, I can’t replace.

Remember those bright city lights,

Shopping all day, oh what a sight,

Stop for lunch and share a laugh,

Those simple moments, our cherished path.

In the quiet of my room,

I feel the space, the empty gloom,

But your words linger, sweet and clear,

Mom, I hold you oh so near.

California dreams across the sky,

Miss our dinners where time flew by,

With every sunset, I wish you were here,

Counting the days till I see you, dear.

Every store, every street we knew,

Whispers memories, they lead me to you,

Wish I could send you a piece of my heart,

To bridge the distance, never be apart.

In every cloud, I see your face,

In every breeze, I feel your grace,

While the ocean waves crash and sigh,

Know you’re with me, though the miles are high.

California dreams across the sky,

Miss our dinners where time flew by,

With every sunset, I wish you were here,

Counting the days till I see you, dear.

But one day soon, we’ll share a meal,

At your favorite spot, I’ll make it real,

Till then I hold on to what we’ve made,

Our love bridges every single shade.

Oh, you’re my sunshine, my guiding star,

No distance can break us, no matter how far,

So I’ll save a seat at the table for you,

Mom, my heart’s home, forever true.
