You are not alone tonight
Imagine me there by your side
It's so hard to be here so far away, from you
I'm counting the days 'till
I'm finally done
I'm counting them down, yeah, one by one
It feels like forever 'till I return to you
But it helps me on those lonely nights
It's that one thing that keeps me alive
[Chorus]
Knowing that you wait for me
Ever so patiently
No one else knows the feeling inside
We hang up the phone without saying goodnight
Because it's the sound of your voice that brings me home
It's never been easy to say
But it's easier when I've gone away
[Chorus]
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me
What I'd give
What I'd do
Knowing I'm not there for you
Makes it so hard to leave
What I'd give
What I'd do
Anything to get me home to you
And this time I'll stay
And you wait for me
Ever so patiently
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me
Imagine me there by your side
It's so hard to be here so far away, from you
I'm counting the days 'till
I'm finally done
I'm counting them down, yeah, one by one
It feels like forever 'till I return to you
But it helps me on those lonely nights
It's that one thing that keeps me alive
[Chorus]
Knowing that you wait for me
Ever so patiently
No one else knows the feeling inside
We hang up the phone without saying goodnight
Because it's the sound of your voice that brings me home
It's never been easy to say
But it's easier when I've gone away
[Chorus]
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me
What I'd give
What I'd do
Knowing I'm not there for you
Makes it so hard to leave
What I'd give
What I'd do
Anything to get me home to you
And this time I'll stay
And you wait for me
Ever so patiently
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me

The lyrics are beautiful. The words are simple, the thoughts are simple, but together, they create a beautiful complexity that explains so many emotions.
There are no words to describe how hard it is to be so far away from the person you love but this song does a pretty good job at it.
Thank you for writing it.
22 days from now, my boyfriend leaves for basic training he won't be back until late November, then he leaves again for almost a year. I never quite grasped how hard it would be to watch someone you love go away for so long. So, in a lot of ways, this song makes me think of him. Sadly, he isn't even gone yet. Just one of those things you don't focus on until the day finally comes.
All in all, this song makes he think that Tyler Connelly was reaching out to those who are far away from their loved ones. Whether it be him on tour or any other band on tour and away from their families or those of us who have loved ones away fighting for our Country. It truly is a master piece, a well written/sung way for those who just can't find the words to describe how much they miss someone. A touching song. Very, very touching.
