I watch you board the plane along with the other wives and girlfriends
And the tears start to form in my eyes
But I'm not going to cry in front of everyone
I will be strong for you
I will hang on until you come home
While you're gone fighting to keep our country free
I'm in a constant state of prayer for your safety
Cause I can't stand the thought of something
Happening to you even though I know its possible
Whenever I need to be reassured of your love
I look at the ring on my hand
That you gave me not too long ago
And I can't help but to smile as I think about
How when you come home we will be
United as one
The days are so long now that you're gone
But I just close my eyes and think of you
And I can hear you tell me
To hold on, that you're alright
And you'll be home as soon as you can
They never said loving a soldier would be easy
But I'm definetely proud to be your woman
Cause if it wasn't for you all fighting
We wouldn't be able to rest at night
And live out the American dream
