[Verse]

You said you'd come back for me

Dropping me off in the rain

You said be a good girl

And that's what I'm being

If I'm good will you be there

With open arms to me

And I'm thinking

How many days went by?

How many hours did I sit there?

Wondering where you are?

Where you are

[Chorus]

Counting the days go by

Day by day

Counting the hours until you're here

Counting the minutes that pass

Minute by minute

Counting the times we've had before

[Verse]

I waited and waited for you to come

Sitting alone by my window

Watching the rain fall to the street

Sliding across the pavement

If I'm bad will you leave me?

Forever and not glance back

And I'm thinking

How many days went by?

How many hours did I sit there?

Wondering where you are?

Where you are

[Chorus]

Counting the days go by

Day by day

Counting the hours until you're here

Counting the minutes that pass

Minute by minute

Counting the times we've had before

[Bridge]

I haven't forgotten you

One day

I'll be there by your side

Oh

Just keep your head up high

High in the sky

One day

I'll be there, don't worry

I'll be there for you

[Chorus]

Counting the days go by (days go by)

Day by day

Counting the hours until you're here (hours until you're here)

Counting the minutes that pass (minutes oh minutes)

Minute by minute

Counting the times we've had before (we've had before)

Counting the days

Counting the hours

Counting the minutes

And times

Counting the days

Counting the hours

Counting the minutes

And times

Counting the days go by

Day by day

Counting the hours until you're here

Counting the minutes that pass

Minute by minute

Counting the times we've had before
