1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 days is all the time I can spend with you, 'cause you live so far away,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 miles is how far I have to get to you, just to see you smile.

Nothing seems to matter, except the fact that you'll one day be with me,
Nothing seems to matter, except the fact that you'll one day be with me.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 hours is how long it would take for me just to give you flowers,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 calls is how many times I call you each month so we can talk about it all.

Nothing seems to matter, except the fact that you'll one day be with me,
Nothing seems to matter, except the fact that you'll one day be with me.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 months is how long that I'm having to wait until you're home to where we're from,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 prayers is how many times I pray each night, 'cause that's how much I care.

Nothing seems to matter, except the fact that you'll one day be with me,
Nothing seems to matter, except the fact that you'll one day be with me.
