Got my baby on the phone at last this morning
"Honey I miss you more than I can say"
She said "Dont you worry darling
Im leaving here right away
I know you know Ive done you right
and Ill be home again tonight"

I said "When you get back Ill cook your supper"
She told me, "Darling, dont make no fuss"
I said "Ill get some champagne" She said "I dont need it -
all I need is the one I trust
You know I know youve done me right
and Ill be home again tonight"

Everybody understands about separation
Whichever one of us is too many miles away
And thought you realise the reason
Still you count those hours and days
We all know what it takes to make it right
These words Ill be home again tonight
