A Soldier's Tearcountry as flag
As I sit here in the early morning dew
I cannot stop thinking of you
All I have of you is a picture of you
I dream of being with you some how.

Morning turns today and still I miss you
I want so much to be able to snuggle with you
But I don't know you just by writing
The afternoon heat consumes me
Still all I think about is being with you when I get home.

Day turns to evening and the cool air blows
I hope and pray that you know
Even though I don't know you that good
I am still thinking of my sweet new pen pal friend
I just want to tell you that soon I will be home to stay.

Darkness falls and I lay down to sleep
I want so much to talk to you that I weep
As I look to the sky and see the smiling moon
I wonder if you looking too and hope to see me soon.

In my dreams I see tears in your eyes
I wish I could hold you and tell you not to cry
My little pen pal friend everything will be just fine
Your solider will be home on time to make you all mine.
