It's been a long time
And I hope you're doing fine
I just wanted to write you a letter
Saying hi, and explaining why
Why you mean so much to me
Well the reason is plain you see
You were always there when I needed you
And I wanted to let you know

You've gotta be strong
And it won't be long
'Cause I'm gonna do
All your time with you
Promise you I can and I will do
Your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

I always did believe
That our love would be
Stronger than the bars you were behind
And my heart always seem to find
Find a reason to hold on
And the purpose to be strong
Baby can't you see that I need you
And I know that you need me too

You've gotta be strong
And it won't be long
'Cause I'm gonna do
All your time with you
Promise you I can and I will do
Your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

You've gotta be strong
And it won't be long
'Cause I'm gonna do
All your time with you
Promise you I can and I will do
Your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

And I'm writing with sincerity
Just to make you understand what you mean to me
And I can't wait till you come home
But I need you to be strong
Baby hold on

'Cause I'm down for you
You know I'm gonna do, I'll do your time for you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

You've gotta be strong
And it won't be long
'Cause I'm gonna do
All your time with you
Promise you I can and I will do
Your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do

You've gotta be strong
And it won't be long
'Cause I'm gonna do
All your time with you
Promise you I can and I will do
Your time with you
I'm gonna do your time with you
No matter what I gotta do
