Lyrics

The postman just came by
No mail from you today
So I sit down to write
I try hard not to cry
I'm tryin' to be brave
Cause I'm a soldier's wife

Chorus
I pray that you'll be home 4th of July
For barbecue and momma's apple pie
We'll bow our heads and pray
For those still far away
Who fight for me and you
And the red white and blue

Your brother graduates
Your sister's got her first date on Saturday
Your mother called to say
Your dad went back to work and Everything's okay

Chorus
I pray that you'll be home thanksgiving day
We'll build a fire and watch
The cowboys play
And on every first and ten
Our family and friends
Will cheer with me and you
For the red white and blue

Bridge
Halloween, New Year's Day and Easter have all passed
But the biggest holiday will be
When I have you home at last

Chorus
I pray you make it home by Christmas Eve
Cause something happened here on your last leave
I can't keep it a suprise
I know he'll have your eyes
A part of me and you and the red white and blue, a part of me and you...and the red white and blue
