Katty Kay (born c. 1964) is an English journalist and correspondent, based at the Washington, D.C. bureau of BBC News. She also blogs at the website True/Slant and is a Board Member at the IWMF (International Women's Media Foundation).
Kay grew up in various Middle East countries, where her father was posted as a British diplomat. She studied modern languages at the University of Oxford and, as a result, speaks fluent French and Italian. After graduation, she briefly worked for the Bank of England. Deciding a career in economics was not for her, she left to work for an aid agency in Zimbabwe.
A short time later, friend Matt Frei came out with a tape recorder and persuaded her to become a journalist. Kay joined the BBC in 1990 as Zimbabwe correspondent for the African section of the BBC World Service. She then returned to London to work for BBC World Service radio, before being posted to Tokyo for BBC News television in 1992 and then Washington, D.C., in 1996. Soon afterwards, she joined The Times news bureau, but returned to the BBC as a freelance journalist in 2002, based in the United States.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 days
Is all the time I can spend with you
Cause you live so far away
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 thousand miles
Is how far I have to get to you
Just to see you smile
Nothing seems to matter
Except the fact
That you'll one day be with me
Nothing seems to matter
Except the fact
That you'll one day be with me
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 hours
Is how long it would take for me
Just to give you flowers
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 calls
Is how many times I'd call you each month
So we can talk about it all
Nothing seems to matter
Except the fact
That you'll one day be with me
Nothing seems to matter
Except the fact
That you'll one day be with me
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 months
Is how long that I'm having to wait
Until you're home to where we're from
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 prayers
Is how many times I pray each night
Cause that's how much I care
Nothing seems to matter
Except the fact
That you'll one day be with me
Nothing seems to matter
Except the fact
