Lyrics
I'M GONNA LOVE YOU
TODAY I WALKED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TO THE MAILBOX
I'M SCARED YOUR ORDERS WILL BE HERE SOON
MY SISTER'S BOYFRIEND WAS JUST SHIPPED OUT
NEXT UNCLE SAM MIGHT CALL YOU
I'M A WOMAN WHO LOVES HER COUNTRY, SO IT TEARS ME UP INSIDE
I FEEL LUCKY AND GUILTY ALL AT THE SAME TIME
BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL WITH ME, BABY THAT'S WHY
CHORUS:
I'M GONNA LOVE YOU LIKE YOU'RE LEAVING TOMORROW, TONIGHT
I'LL MAKE MYSELF BELIEVE THAT GOD'S LIGHT
WOULD BRING YOU HOME SAFE ,
BUT TIL THAT GOODBYE
I'M GONNA LOVE YOU LIKE YOU'RE LEAVING TOMORROW, TONIGHT
DON'T WANNA WAIT TIL OLD MAN MOON STARTS RISING
I'LL BE UPSTAIRS, TURNING OUR SHEETS DOWN
EVERY MINUTE WITH YOU IS PRICELESS
BABY, I WANT YOU RIGHT NOW
I'M A WOMAN WHO LOVES SO DEEPLY-- AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO SHOW
HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME, MORE THAN YOU CAN KNOW
I'M HIDING YOUR SUITCASE UNTIL YOU GO
CHORUS: REPEAT
BRIDGE:
IF YOU'RE SENT FAR AWAY
AND I'M LEFT HERE TO CARRY ON
I'LL WRITE YOU BABY, EVERY DAY,
AND EVERY NIGHT, I'LL DREAM I'M IN YOUR ARMS
CHORUS: REPEAT
