In a Little While

Got a ticket coming home

Wish the officer had known

What a day today has been

Then I stumbled through the door

Dropping junk mail on the floor

When will this day end?

But then your letter caught my eye

Brought the hope in me to life

'Cause you know me very well

And I bet you wrote me

Just to tell me

In a little while

We'll be with the father

Can't you see him smile?

In a little while

We'll be home forever

In a while

We're just here to learn to love him

We'll be home in just a little while

Boy, that letter hit the spot

Made me think of all I've got

And all that waits for me

Guess I've known it all day long

Wonder where my thoughts went wrong

When will my heart believe?

Waking half way through the night

Reaching toward the lamp for light

Picking up the word I find

Here's another letter

To remind me

In a little while

We'll be with the father

Can't you see him smile?

In a little while

We'll be home forever

In a while

We're just here to learn to love him

We'll be home in just a little while

Days like these are just a test of our will

Will we walk or will we fall?

Well, I can almost see the top of the hill

And I believe it's worth it all

In a little while

We'll be with the father

Can't you see him smile?

In a little while

We'll be home forever

In a while

We're just here to learn to love him

We'll be home in just a little while

In a little while

We'll be with the father

Can't you see him smile?

In a little while

We'll be home forever

In a while

We're just here to learn to love him

We'll be home in just a little

In a little while

We'll be with the father

Can't you see him smile?

In a little while

We'll be home forever

In a while

We're just here to learn to love him

We'll be home in just a little

In a little while

We'll be with the father

Can't you see him smile?

In a little while

We'll be home forever

In a while

We're just here to learn to love him

We'll be home in just a little

In a little while

We'll be with the father

Can't you see him smile?
