My baby is so far away

My baby is so far away,
She sleeps during my day.
Does my baby dream of me?
Oh, how I wish I could see!

My baby studies as I sleep,
We both have promises to keep.
As my darling does her PhD,
Oh, how I wish I could see!

My honey finds her homework tough,
Then she goes to buy some stuff,
When my dear goes to party,
Oh, how I wish I could see!

My honey buys a new shirt,
And wants to get a new skirt,
But when she wears the saree,
Oh, how I wish I could see!

She tells me these when we chat,
She tells me that she’s gotten fat,
But how fat can she really be?
Oh, how I wish I could see!

My honey says she’ll come back soon,
I just sigh and look at the moon.
I really miss my darling baby,
Oh, how I wish my baby could see!
