There's a smile on the wind as it touches my face

And starts to erase all the gloom

And the sun with a kiss begins to dismiss

The memory of my life without you



Well, it seems like yesterday that my path took me away

Although I know it's been at least a year

But now my path heads home, and your patient time alone

Has brought me even closer to you, dear



And this plane gets closer every minute I look down

To a watch that keeps lookin' back at me

And it says to me, 'be patient, son, you've waited this long.'

But how can I be strong?

Well, the plane's finally down, and the engines stopped their sound

I look in the crowd, and there you stand

And the gap that once was time is forever closed behind

'Cause I told you I'd come back, and here I am

Yes, I told you I'd come back, and here I am

I told you I'd come back, and here I am
