Cry of a Soldier's Wife (revised)

 (This is dedicated to everyone who is waiting for a loved one to return home from the war.)

The distance seems so far this night,

I wonder where you are;

I wonder if you're missing me,

wishing on a star.

I cannot forget

the look that was in your eyes

the night you held me close

as we whispered our goodbyes;

You said,

I promise I'll come back to you

You'll always be my girl.

Now war is raging,

people are hating;

For what, I just don't see;

And I pray each night

God will make it right

and bring you home to me.

I wonder if you're scared,

feeling lonely and sad;

I wonder if you're in pain;

I wonder if you're mad;

I wonder if you think of me

as bombs explode in the air;

I wonder if you'll come home to me;

I wonder if you still care.

I cannot forget

the look that was in your eyes

the night you held me close

as you said your goodbyes ;

You said,

I promise I'll come back to you

You'll always be my girl.
