A/N: This is my first song-fic. Praise and constructive criticism is definitely welcome.

This is dedicated to my brother-in-law who is in Iraq, his wife who misses him more than anything, and the beautiful daughter he has yet to meet.

I put away the groceries

And I take my daily bread

I dream of your arms around me

As I tuck the kids in bed

Lily Potter shushed her crying baby and sat down in the antique chair in the nursery, rocking him until he fell asleep. When his breathing had slowed and she was sure he wouldn't wake when moved, she gently placed him in the crib her mother had given her when she had announced her pregnancy, now almost a year ago. She kissed Harry good-night, and softly made her way down the stairs to the kitchen.

I don't know what you're doin'

I don't know where you are

But I look up at that great big sky

And I hope you're wishin' on that same bright star

As she stood at the sink, doing the dishes from supper that night, she let her mind wander to her husband. It had been nearly a month since she had seen James, and as each day went by, she missed him more. She had no idea where he was or if he was hurt or in danger or anything, as he was on a top secret mission for the Order of the Phoenix. She dried her hands on the dish towel and stared out the window, noticing how bright the stars were that night. She picked an especially bright one and sent all her wishes that way.

I wonder, I pray

And I sleep alone

I cry alone

And it's so hard livin' here on my own

So please, come home soon

Come home soon

Lily made a cup of tea and sat down at the kitchen table. She thought about her life. She knew she was blessed to have such a wonderful husband, to be married to her one and only soul mate, to have a beautiful baby boy with him. Oh how she missed her James. She sighed as the tears started to fall.

I know that we're together

Even though we're far apart

And I wear my lucky penny 'round my neck

Pressed to my heart

Lily poured herself another cup of tea and headed into the living room. She looked sadly at the pictures on the mantle. There were her and James at Hogwarts--photos of James stealing her quill and her yelling at him, of James asking her out countless times, of her throwing Hogwarts, A History at his head. Her and James talking, laughing, hugging, snuggling by the common room fire, kissing.

I wonder, I pray

And I sleep alone

I cry alone

And it's so hard livin' here on my own

So please, come home soon

Lily and James on their first date, on their first anniversary, on the day he proposed. More tears silently made their way down her cheeks as Lily gazed at the photos of her and James dancing in the rain, spinning in the falling leaves, making snow angels in powdery soft snow.

I still imagine your touch

It's beautiful missing something that much

But sometimes love needs a fighting chance

So I'll wait my turn until it's our turn to dance

Next there were photos of their wedding. Alice helping her get ready, her father walking her down the aisle, James and Lily exchanging their vows and rings, their guests throwing birdseed as the newlyweds walked out of the church. Lily and James dancing at the wedding reception. Lily, Alice, James, and Sirius, the wedding party.

I wonder, I pray

I sleep alone

I cry alone

Without you this house is not a home

So please, come home soon

Lily laughing on their first anniversary, surrounded by three-hundred and sixty-five red roses, one for every day of their marriage. James spinning Lily around with joy when informed of her pregnancy. Lily and James on a picnic last summer, one of James' arms around Lily, the other resting lightly on her very pregnant stomach. Photos of Harry. His first hours, first smile, first giggle, first word.

I walk alone

I try alone

And I'll wait for you, don't wanna die alone

So please, come home soon

Come home soon

"Oh, James," Lily whispered. "Please come home soon."

"Is right now soon enough?" said a warm voice behind her.

Lily gasped and ran into her husband's arms. "Oh, James, I've missed you so much!" she breathed, tears springing to her eyes once again.

"I missed you, too, darling."

"James, I was so worri-" Her concerns were cut off by a long kiss from James.

And in that moment, she forgot how worried and alone she had felt over the past month. She forgot about the evil man named Voldemort, and the danger her family was in. All she cared about in that moment was that she was back in the arms of the man she loved.

Come home soon
