Soldier Of My Heart

Solider Of my Heart

I sit here tonight

tears in my eyes

shaking and trembling

you tell me not to cry. I

didnt know how to say good bye.

In the short time you have been gone

My fears have come true.

you've gotten your orders and you've gotta go

we're all gonna miss you more than you know

you're headed for Norfolk at we sit in silence and worry

about you being hurt.

we want you home

you're the soldier of my heart

you're with me even though we're worlds apart

A little brother you are to me. I hold you o so dear.

If only for a moment of time I wish I could take way

Your pain.

now I hear you're coming back home

my heart jumps for joy, only for a moment of time.

As I hear the news I realize you are coming home

Hurt. My worest fears have been met all with in

A short period of time.

I choke back the tears as we hear the news

About you being hurt. Youre my friend, my saint

And always in my heart. Youve been my friend

When it seemed like I had none.

we want you home

you're the soldier of my heart

you're with me even though we're worlds apart

a little brother you are to me. I hold you o so dear.

If only for a moment of time I wish I could take way

Your pain.

A solider of the USA, you stand proud today.

Falling from a missile in the night only to shatter

A limb. I prayed for your safe return, I never wanted

You to be hurt.

We sit and worry, worry and waited until your home with

Us again with your unguiding love. You have loved me as a friend, for more then a moment of your time.

A brother you will always be, my savior you have

Been to me. Unguiding love you have shown to me.

Tender words of encouragement for many moments

Of time.

we want you home

you're the soldier of my heart

you're with me even though we're worlds apart

A little brother you are to me. I hold you o so dear.

If only for a moment of time I wish I could take way

Your pain.
