[Verse 1] I've missed you for so long Then late last night your message came Two little words across my phone And suddenly the years had changed I couldn't believe you were back again My pretty baby, my best friend [Pre-Chorus] It's been a long time, a long, long while Since I saw that familiar smile But just one thought of your pretty face Can put a sunrise in its place [Chorus] I've missed you so much, I don't know where to start I've missed you so much, kept you close to my heart I can't wait to see that cute little lip you do You know what I mean, I still remember you From Michigan skies to the shore by the sea There's a distance between us, but come back to me We'll find a way to bridge this gap somehow I've missed you for thirty years—come home now [Verse 2] You're all the way up in Michigan I'm all the way down here by the sea But every mile between us disappears When I picture you beside me I promise to keep you happy every night I promise I'll hold you close and tight I'll promise you the world and more I can't wait to see what's in store [Pre-Chorus] That Texas smile is still in my mind That pretty little face stayed there all this time Thirty years have come and gone But my heart kept holding on [Chorus] I've missed you so much, I don't know where to start I've missed you so much, kept you close to my heart I can't wait to see that cute little lip you do You know what I mean, I still remember you From Michigan skies to the shore by the sea There's a distance between us, but come back to me We'll find a way to bridge this gap somehow I've missed you for thirty years—come home now [Bridge] No more counting miles, no more waiting on a sign If you still remember me, then maybe now's our time Bring that pretty face, bring that Texas smile Let me make up for every mile [Final Chorus] I've missed you so much, and now I know where to start I'll meet you with open arms and a wide-open heart I can't wait to see that cute little lip you do After all these years, I still belong with you From Michigan skies to the shore by the sea We'll build a little bridge back to you and me I'll promise the world, then I'll give you more Pretty baby, come home—I've been waiting at the door [Outro] Thirty years have passed, but my heart still says Pretty baby, please be mine
