Lyrics

Across the Miles

Forty-four years ago.
You stood in front of God and everyone you know.
You said “I Love You” til death do us part
And that was a very good start.

Sister two and Brothers one.
The two girls came along,
but you had to have that son.
You waited seven years
and then you tried again.
And I’m so glad I came along, before him.

But that was many years ago. You’ve shown us more love than you know
And that’s why… that’s why its so hard to go.

Across the Miles...We’ll send our love to you...Across the miles.

I know you wish we were all home.
Instead we’re taking turns picking up the phone.
We say we’re doing fine. We tend to re-assure;
but we never say how much we miss,
the way things were.

Cuz you knew…that there was more to life for us,
more for us to do, so til then, we’ll send, our love to you…

Across the Miles…We’ll send our love to you. Across the miles

Thanks for all that you’ve done for me.
If I’d only known then, If I’d only known then…
Thanks for all that you’ve done for me.
If I’d only known then, what I know now...

Across the Miles…We’ll send our love to you. Across the miles
