You've been alone Since I've been gone And I've been gone A little too long But I'll make it right When I get home tonight And I'll hold you tight In the soft candlelight I'm making it up to my baby Every waking moment Just the way it's meant to be I'm making it up to my baby Cause my baby means the world to me Making my way Earning my pay Takes me away Day after day So here I am Doing all that I can Cause I understand I'm a fortunate man I'm making it up to my baby Every waking moment Just the way it's meant to be I'm making it up to my baby Cause my baby means the world to me Lord knows I miss you When we're apart And I can't hardly wait to start Making it up to my baby Every waking moment Just the way it's meant to be I'm making it up to my baby Cause my baby means the world to me Cause my baby means the world to me Yes my baby means then world to me ♪ Yeah yeah yeah
