A Soldier's Waltz

You’ll never know how I love you each day,

Without you, my world is so small.

I promise that the days will go by

And it won’t be too long before until I see you again.

I miss you so, playin’ out in the yard,

The way that you slow down my life.

Though I’m gone, I hold onto your smile,

And it helps me to comfort the pain.

Oh, it hurts me so hard not to see you growing up strong,

And oh, it hurts me so hard that I don’t know when I will come home...

I love you so, more than you’ll ever feel,

And I know that your journey’s been hard,

I can’t wait to hold your sweet head on my chest,

And tell you that wartime is gone.

I send you my heart and I long for the day,

When this war and all war is done,

But till then, I will fight and I’ll pray for peace,

So this world can be safe for our son.

Oh, it hurts me so hard not to tell you stories each night,

And oh it hurts me so hard that you both have to keep up this fight...

I send you my heart and I long for the day,

When this war and all war is done,

But till then, I will fight and I’ll pray for peace,

So this world can be safe for my son.
