Well, I got your letter saying you were
tired of being alone.
I hope that you don't think I like to be so far from home.
And I get lonely sometimes too,
Can't count the times I've thought of you
'Cause you're the only love I've ever known.
But I'll be coming back the minute
that my work is through.
Till then you know that all I want is just to be with you.
The minute that I hit that door
And find what I've been working for,
I'll tell you just exactly what I'll do.
When Daddy gets home, I'll make up for
Those nights alone and so much more.
I won't be just a voice on the telephone.
I'll wrap my arms around you tight
And we'll both sleep a little better at night.
Just wait till Daddy gets home.

Now I know the children miss me
and I know they wonder why
I have to be so far away. Well sometimes so do I.
But I have to do what I have to do.
Then I'll be coming home to you
As sure as that old sun shines in the sky.
When Daddy gets home, I'll make up for
Those nights alone and so much more.
I won't be just a voice on the telephone.
I'll wrap my arms around you tight
And we'll both sleep a little better at night.
Just wait till Daddy gets home.
There'll be hugs and kisses when Daddy gets home.
I'll buy you flowers and ice cream cones.
Just wait till Daddy gets home.
Just wait till Daddy gets home.
Just wait till Daddy gets home.
