Lyrics
My daddys gone to war again second time in the last three years
when we talk about it at school its hard to hold back the tears
But I know he loves me by the letters that he writes
And I sit by my open window and read them each and every night
My Daddy's gone to war again and I miss him so
But he says he's protecting me and some other Dad doesnlt have to go
I know that he loves me and I know he misses
the sweetest times we ever had bed time stories and goodnight kisses
My daughters so very far away and I miss her so very much
But we'll be together again real soon with God's will and a little luck
I know that she loves me and I know the thins she misses
the sweetest times we ever had bedtime stories and good night kisses
Bedtime stories full of happily ever afters
good night kisses to keep bad dreams away
I know that she loves me(he loves me)
And I know he misses(she misses)
The sweetest times we ever had Bedtime stories and goodnight kisses
bedtime stories and good night kisses
