Lyrics

Chorus
You told me why, when I became your wife
That I would stay behind
And I would write my soldier??.. this love letter

We kissed good bye, leaving with teary eyes
no one will see me cry
While I write my soldier??. this love letter

Verse 1:
I knew on that summer evening
You?d have a significant meaning
You enticed me and drew me in
I knew from then a new life would begin

I love your endearing smile
You invited me to stay for awhile
The next year we walked down the aisle
I?ll love you forever, I?m blessed were together

Chorus:
You told me why, when I became your wife
That I would stay behind
And I would write my soldier??.. this love letter

We kissed good bye, leaving with teary eyes
no one will see me cry
while I write my soldier??. this love letter

Verse 2:
I don?t know how to say what I feel
I know our love for each other is real
My happiness can not be concealed
We can?t be together-so here is my letter

And if you?re not here by my side
My love for you continues to grow inside
Together I know that we will find
Our love will stand every test of time

Chorus:
You told me why, when I became your wife
That I would stay behind
And I would write my soldier??.. this love letter

We kissed good bye, leaving with teary eyes
no one will see me cry
while I write my soldier??. this love letter

Break

Bridge:
Baby I miss you more than words
can describe the heartache I have for you
When you come home we will start a brand new
Life once again and this letter I send
Professes what I feel in my heart
And baby know that you are a part
Of my life permanently- I can?t wait to see
Your smiling face and your strong embrace

Chorus:
You told me why, when I became your wife
That I would stay behind
And I would write my soldier??.. this love letter

We kissed good bye, leaving with teary eyes
No one will see me cry
while I write my soldier??. this love letter

Bridge 2:
Baby I miss you more each day
And the heartache I have won?t go away
When you come home everything will be OK
Once again-and this letter I send
Tells you all that I feel in my heart
Everyday that we are apart
It?s not permanently-and I?ll eventually see
You?re smiling face and your strong embrace

Chorus
You told me why, when I became your wife
That I would stay behind
And I would write my soldier??.. this love letter

We kissed good bye, leaving with teary eyes
no one will see me cry
while I write my soldier??. this love letter
