• I sit and reminisce about what used to be
    The night so long and cold’
    Stretched out so far in front of me,
    The memories of yesterday making me alone.

    The cold tear slips down my face
    The rain falls outside the window
    My heart cries out for the one miles away
    I can only hope he’s safe

    I fall asleep there by the door
    Into a restless dream
    Where you were still here with me
    And I was able to smile for them

    The pitter patter of little feet
    Wakes me in the morn
    The question of where is daddy
    Is sure to come soon

    How do I tell them,
    Daddy left in the night
    His country needed him more than us
    And he had to go to fight

    Where ever you are she says
    She’s daddy’s little girl
    It doesn’t matter
    Because according to your kids
    Daddy’ll be home soon.
