A soldier's love

Here I am in a far off land,
Dreams I had lay in the sand.
Things I do get me through,
It’s a shame but true, I’ll pay my dues.

So if I die here it won’t be in vain,
And my last thought will be of your face,
And as my last breath escapes,
It will whisper your name,
As one more soldier’s love makes the trade.

Cause I can’t promise you I’ll make it,
But I can’t turn my back
On a country that beholds someone like you,
The kindest sweetest soul I ever knew.
I’m shaking in my boots,
And all that I can do,
Is pledge my solder’s love once more to you.

Take my picture down, put my notes away,
Don’t you dare cry for me at all!
And still know I exist waiting for your kiss
In a place where I will always feel your soul.

And as you force yourself to fall asleep,
Leave your bedroom light on for me.
And I will always receive
The strength I will need,
As strong as a soldier’s love could ever be.

Cause I can’t promise you I’ll make it,
But I can’t turn my back
On a country that beholds someone like you,
The kindest sweetest soul I ever knew.
I’m shaking in my boots,
And all that I can do,
Is pledge my solder’s love once more to you…

I pledge this solder’s love once more to you…
I pledge my love to you…
