| It’s harder than I thought, to be so far away.
|
| So I thought I’d write this letter to you and explain.
|
| For me it wasn’t easy to raise the flag and leave.
|
| But I thought that you should know how much you mean to me.
|
| I won’t be there to see you dance and hear you sing the songs we love.
|
| So please be strong and it won’t be long till I’m home again.
|
| You know you make me proud because you’re the one that I depend upon.
|
| And when I return, I promise, I’ll never leave you alone again.
|
| It’s harder than I thought and you’re so far away.
|
| So I thought I’d write this letter to you and explain.
|
| It was only a moment.
|
| I turned my head to wipe my eyes and when I looked again I saw your smile that
|
| said goodbye.
|
| Mama says don’t worry because Daddy’s brave and he’s coming home.
|
| But if I could change one thing, I’d never let you go.
|
| I want you here to see me dance and sing along to the songs we love.
|
| So I’ll be strong. |
| It won’t be long till you’re home again with me.
|
| When it feels too much to take,
|
| I want you to know that I’m thinking about you, making plans for when I’m home.
|
| Why aren’t you here?
|
| I wake up every night.
|
| I check the front porch light, making sure it’s shining bright.
|
| And I’ll be there to shine the light
|
| So you can find your way to me.
|
| I’m feeling strong, but don’t take too long.
|
| Please come home to me.
|
| I’ll be there to see you dance and hear you sing the songs I love.
|
| It won’t be long.
|
| It won’t be long till I’m home again!
|
| Why aren’t you here?
|
| I’m coming home! |
