As Days Go By
Baby Bash Feat. Paula DeAnda Lyrics

As days go by
Time is passing, and it feels like it's taking a long time to reunite with the person he loves.

I'm missing you baby
Expressing how much he misses the person he loves.

Patiently waiting
Waiting with patience, even though it's difficult.

For you
The person he loves, who he wants to reunite with.

To hold you
To embrace the person he loves.

To thrill you
To excite and please the person he loves.

To feel you
To physically touch the person he loves.

Tender kisses
Soft and affectionate kisses.

Give you the love you've been missing
To provide the love that the person he loves has been missing.

Boy I can't wait till you come back home
Expressing how eager he is for the person he loves to return home.

To have you all alone
To spend intimate time with the person he loves.

Now I done came a long way
He has come a long way since he has been away from the person he loves.

But ain't gone too far
He hasn't gone too far from where he started.

And hope this love letter don't
A desire that this love letter doesn't cause any harm to his relationship.

Leave a big scar
Causing significant emotional damage.

So baby just hold on
Encouraging his partner to be strong and hold on while he's away.

Lil' momma just be strong
A term of endearment, encouraging her strength in his absence.

Cause no one knew the war
Nobody knew the conflict would go on for so long and cause separation from loved ones.

Would last us so long
Expressing how long the separation has gone on.

The rockets the red glare
Describing effects of war.

The bombs up in the air
Describing effects of war.

I'm just doing my duty
He's trying to do what's necessary, even though it's hard on his relationship.

But missin' it right there
He's missing being with the person he loves.

So as days go by
Time is passing, and it's hard being away from his loved one.

I'm counting every minute
Every moment feels long and significant.

Wishing I was home
A strong desire to be back home with the person he loves.

For sure with you in it
He wants to be with the person he loves when he's back home.

But the soldiers that
Describing the people he's serving with.

I'm runnin' with
The people he's serving with.

Are ready to blitz
They're ready to take action and do their duty.

This ain't no video
This is the reality of serving in war, not a video game.

This is just as real as it gets
The reality of serving in war is tough and serious.

I made some lifelong friends
He's made some strong connections with people serving with him.

Holdin' down the front line
Describing the work he's doing while serving in war.

And girl I can't wait
He's looking forward to being back home with the person he loves.

To get back in your sunshine
He wants to be back with the person he loves and experience their warmth and happiness again.

My time is spent reflecting
He's been thinking about his relationship while he's been away.

On all the lil' things
Thinking about small and important things in his relationship.

You said I was neglecting
Reflecting on criticism he's received for not paying enough attention to important things in his relationship.

They say you never know
There's a common expression that you don't realize what you had until it's gone.

What you have until it's gone
You don't realize the value of something until it's no longer there.

Didn't know back then
He didn't realize the value of his relationship at the time.

But I will from now on
He's learned the value of his relationship and will appreciate it more in the future.

When I try to channel out
When he tries to focus on other things to alleviate stress.

All the fear and the stress
The difficult emotions felt while serving in war.

I picture me and you rollin'
Imagining himself and the person he loves together, enjoying life.

Looking dressed to impress
Both looking their best and enjoying their time together.

And to know you'll be there
To know the person he loves will be there waiting for him when he returns.

When I'm back from Iraq
When he returns from serving in Iraq.

And feel good to know
To feel happy and confident about their relationship.

A real chica I have on my back
A real woman who he has a strong and supportive relationship with.

Give everybody huggs
Asking his partner to give everyone hugs from him.

And tell em' I really miss em'
Expressing how much he misses his loved ones and wants to stay connected to them.

And your boy be back
Assuring his partner he'll come back home.

When I'm through with my mission
When he's completed his duties and can return home.

One day we gon' get it together
They will reunite and be together again one day.

One day we gon' get it together
They will reunite and be together again one day.

One day we gon' get it together
They will reunite and be together again one day.

One day we gon' get it together
They will reunite and be together again one day.

(As days go by)
Repeating the theme that time is passing and it's difficult being separated.
