A sea and land away
That's how far you'll be
But forever here I'll stay
Faithfully and patiently waiting
I fear for you
My life, my love
And hope that my prayers
Will be strong enough to bring you home
Tears fall freely from my eyes
But do not let them stop you
For what you do is honorable
It is a brave thing many do not know
As you board that plane tonight
Remember just one thing
Every night you're gone
I'll be keeping you safe and warm
Author notes
thank you to all our men and women in uniform. You're the reason our country is free.
