Christopher

The sun goes down and the room gets quiet

I close my eyes just to hear your voice

It’s the only thing that gets me through the night

Out of the whole wide world, you're my only choice

I picture that smile that lights up the dark

And the steady rhythm of your kind, kind heart

So stand tall, my love, wherever you roam

Keep your eyes on the drive and hurry back home

I'm counting down the days until I hold you, baby

Your cherry blossom is here, and she's waiting

Yeah, your cherry blossom is waiting on you, baby

I look out the window at the dew on the lawn

Thinking 'bout the way that the summer felt

Walking barefoot across the grass until the dawn

Every time you look at me, I swear I melt

Those little memories are the ones I keep near

Holding onto hope until you're back here

So stand tall, my love, wherever you roam

Keep your eyes on the drive and hurry back home

I'm counting down the days until I hold you, baby

Your cherry blossom is here, and she's waiting

Yeah, your cherry blossom is waiting on you, baby

We got those every night talks on the telephone line

But I need your hand resting right here in mine

Christopher, you're the strongest man I've ever known

Just finish up the miles and bring it on home

And stand tall, my love, wherever you roam

Keep your eyes on the drive and hurry back home

I'm counting down the days until I hold you, baby

Your cherry blossom is here, and she's waiting

Yeah, your cherry blossom is waiting on you, baby

Come home soon, I'm waiting on you, baby
