ARMY WIFE
MY SOLDIER SAID GOODBYE TODAY
HE PACKED HIS BAG AND WENT AWAY
THE KIDS ASLEEP UPON THEIR BEDS
TOO YOUNG TO KNOW WHAT LIES AHEAD
PICTURES FILL THE EMPTY SPACE
THEY HAVE TO SEE THEIR DADDY'S FACE
WE SAY OUR PRAYERS AND THANK THE LORD
THAT WE HAVE A PLACE WORTH FIGHTING FOR
TAKE THE TIME AND THINK ABOUT
WHAT MY FAMILY'S DONE WITHOUT
WE'VE LOST ALOT AND PAID THE PRICE
ITS PART OF LIVING THE ARMY LIFE
I'M PROUD OF HIM AND THE OTHERS TOO
NOTHING THESE SOLDIERS OF OURS WON'T DO
SO REMEMBER TONIGHT AS YOU KISS HIS CHEEK
THAT MINE'S IN THE SAND SOMEWHERE KNEE DEEP
TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM AND HOLD HIM TIGHT
AND MINE WILL DRIVE ON AND KEEP UP THE FIGHT
THEY'LL FINISH THE JOB, IT'S WHAT THEY DO
THE FLAG WILL FLY, IT'S RED,WHITE AND BLUE
DON'T FORGET YOUR FREEDOM AND REMEMBER YOUR PAST
THAT'S WHY WE'RE THERE, IF YOU HAVE TO ASK
THEY'LL ALL COME HOME WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT
THEY'LL LAY DOWN THEIR GUNS AND STOP THE FIGHT
WHEN THE BAD GUYS ARE GONE AND THE WORLD IS AT PEACE
I'LL OPEN MY HEART WITH SWEET RELEASE
I'LL TELL HIM I MISSED HIM
HE IS ALL OF MY LIFE
THIS COMES FROM AN ARMY WIFE
