If you check the writing credits for this song you will see Richie is named! So this leads me to think the song is about him been on the road with the band & he is ringing his wife to tell her how much he loves her & the kids. The child doesn't understand and just says "Daddy, when ya comin' home". He explains by saying I'm their with you all the time, deep in your heart.
Yes it can be about a long distance relationship or a truck driver. Hell it can be about lots of things but I'm just stating the obvious!
