Over There At night when I crawl into bed, My lonely pillow 'neath my head, I close my eyes and say a prayer, God keep him safe over there. And God please make the time fly by, And make me strong so I won't cry. It's kinda hard to be alone, And teach the kids when they're half grown, Without the strength of a father's hand, To guid them in this troubled land. So I'll need a lot of help from you, To let me know what I should do. And please god won't you let him know, How much we love and miss him so. And then I feel across the bed, To where he use to lay his head. And close my eyes so very tight, So I won't cry again tonight. And whisper to the evening air, Goodnight my darling over there. ~Author Unknown |
