[Verse 1: Akon]
Miles in between us
It's been so long since we last talked
I hear your voice grow weary
On the line, every day we have to say goodbye
[Akon:]
A hustler's ambition keeps me on the road
I do it for our family that I need to provide for
I know you're tired of sleeping alone
Cause I've been gone so long, so long long long long
Girl tonight (tonight)
'fore you turn off the lights (off the lights)
Lay your head on my pillow and close your eyes (close your eyes)
Pray I'll make it back home safe tonight (safe tonight)
When you wake up by your side
I'll be home in the morning (home in the morning, home in the morning, home in the morning)
I'll be home in the morning
[Verse 2: Monica]
How I wish you could stay
Still I pack your suitcase just the same
Don't know how long you'll be away
But these pictures in the frame keeps us together every day, yeah
[Monica:]
A hustler's ambition keeps you on the road
You do it for our family that you need to provide for
I know you're tired of sleeping alone
Cause you've been gone so long, so long long long
Boy tonight (tonight)
Will you turn out the lights (out the lights)
Lay your head on my pillow and close your eyes (close your eyes)
Pray you'll make it back home safe tonight (safe tonight)
When you wake up by your side
You'll be home in the morning
[Bridge: Akon (Monica)]
Sunlight shines upon your face (sunlight upon your face)
Put down my bags and crawl into bed (crawl into bed)
Try not to wake you as I put my arm around your waist
Oh, but I know you're there, I feel whispers in my head
[Outro: Akon + Monica]
Girl tonight (tonight)
'fore you turn off the lights (turn the lights)
Lay your head on my pillow and close your eyes (close your eyes)
Pray I'll make it back home safe tonight (make it safe, baby)
When you wake up by your side (by your side)
I'll be home in the morning (home in the morning, home in the morning, home in the morning)
I'll be home in the morning
I'm home in the morning, home in the morning (I'm home)
Home in the morning, I'll be home in the morning
(I'm on my way)
(I'm coming home to you)
(I'll be there in the morning)
