A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
(James Sheppard / William Miller)


Bobby Vinton - 1963



You're a thousand miles away
But I still have your love
To remember you by, oh, my darlin'
Dry your eyes, Daddy's comin' home soon

On my knees every day
All I do is pray, baby, just for you
Hope you'll always want me too
Daddy's comin' home soon

It may be on a Sunday morning
It may be on a Tuesday afternoon
But no matter what the day is
I'm gonna make it my business to get home soon

You're a thousand miles away
But I still have your love
To remember you by, oh, my darlin'
Dry your eyes, Daddy's comin' home soon
