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? (oh)
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? (oh)
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? (oh)
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? (oh)
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? (oh)
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? (oh)
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? (oh)
