Lyrics

Letters



She woke that morning all alone again
she felt the baby kick three times
her husband was off to war overseas
oh, how proud she was of him

As she stepped up she knew today would be the day
she called her mom to take her in

she felt so alone as momma helped her in the car
as they pulled away she said please check the mail
mom came back with a letter from him
tears rolled down her tender face as she felt the words he wrote


I know you feel alone right now and I am half a world away
but I ve never felt so close to you each day as I pray
Be strong for our baby , let her know I ll be home soon
Daddy?s got a few more things to do,
cause daddy loves you

6 months later he had 3 months left on tour
his heart was broken , he felt alone and longed to meet his baby girl
mail call came with a letter that smelled of perfume
the smallest little hand print on the back

Tears rolled down his roughened face as he felt the words she wrote inside

I know you feel alone right now and were half a world away
you need to know we pray your safe each and every day
be strong for our baby girl we know you?ll be home soon
I tell her everyday dads got a few more things to do
and Daddy loves you
