Counting Down

3, 4 Oh feels fun But anymore feels too long A sadness comes into my eyes As I watch families walk by You give my life a rooted feeling (Ooh) Every step I take has meaning (Ooh) When I'm getting you to school Or your swim lessons at the pool Counting down Counting down How long it will be 'Til I'm home 'Til I'm home Not sure this is what it's cracked out to be I'm meeting new friends that I always have to leave I'm considering a new career But all I can do is play music by ear So I'll keep going on (Ooh) And I'll feel better after a song (Ooh) And remember all the good signs When not so heartsick and tired Counting down Counting down How long it will be Til I'm home Til I'm home Til I'm home
