It's having him whispering his
love to you. It's whispering back you love him too. Then
comes a kiss, a promise of
love.
Reluctantly,
painfully, letting go.
While your
dying inside from wanting him
so.
Watching him go, with eyes
full of tears,
standing alone
with hopes, dreams and
fears.
It's sending a letter
with stamps upside down,
to a far
away love in a far away
town.
It's going to church to
kneel and pray,
and really
meaning the things that you
say.
And though you know he's far
away just keep on loving him more each day. Being in love
will merit your dreams. And thought of Heaven where his
love light gleams.
Days go by and no
mail for a spell,
wait for some
word to hear that he's well.
Then
the letter arrives and your given to
joy.
Your like a small child with
a new shiney toy.
With
fingers a tremble and heart beating
fast.
You tear open his letter
and read it at last.
Yeah, he's
well and misses you so,
it's
filled with the love you've wanted to
know.
Weeks are now months, and
months are a year.
Your
waiting for the days you'll have no more
fear.
Time passes slow, yet it's
gone very fast,
Your barely aware
it is here till it's
past.
Yes loving a soldier brings
bitterness and tears,
loneliness
and sadness, and despondent
years.
Loving a soldier really
isn't much fun.
But it's well worth
the price when the battle is
won.
