Lyrics
The days stretch out much longer than I thought
While you're fighting far away, in a desert hot
It's hard to have you gone, want you safely home
And I'm sending you my love so you'll know
That I'll be here
I'll be here
Somehow, someway I'll be strong
Through the heartache
Know that I will wait
Until you're back where you belong
I'll be here
The X's on my calendar don't stop
And the edges of your photo are wearing off
Though we're far apart, I'll ask the brightest star
To reflect my heart to where you are
Because I'll be here
I'll be here
Somehow, someway I'll be strong
Through the heartache
Know that I will wait
Until you're back where you belong
I'll be here when the fighting ends
With a hero's welcome, holding you again
I'll be here
I'll be here
Somehow, someway I'll be strong
Through the heartache
Know that I will wait
Until you're back where you belong
I will be here
I'll be here
Closer now, it won't be long
When I see your plane
You'll be home to stay
And safe, safe within my arms
I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here
