Lyrics

We looked at your picture today
The one from Easter Sunday
When you were dressed up in blue

And your baby girl said her Daddy's name
Just like you were there
And she was looking right at you

Some mornings it seems like I can't go on one more day
And that I'll never make it through another night,

Chorus:
But I know you're out there
Thinking of us here
Keeping us safe from the enemy we can't see
And I know there's angels
Standing beside you
Making sure that you come home to me
And if doing my part
Means being on my own,
Then I'm okay with waking up alone

We didn't open presents Christmas day
Our son said Santa'd never come
Unless you could be here too

And I still set the table with your plate
And when we bow our heads, we ask God
To bless our soldier and our food

Sleeping in our room with just the pictures of our life
I wonder why I chose to be a soldier's wife

But I know you're out there
Thinking of us here
Keeping us safe from the enemy we can't see
And I know there's angels
Standing beside you
Making sure that you come home to me
And if doing my part
Means being on my own,
Then I'm okay with waking up alone

And I told your daughter not to cry
I told your son not to be mad
When they handed me that folded flag

Cause I know you're out there
Thinking of us here
Keeping us safe from the enemy we can't see
And I know that angels
Are walking beside you
Just watching you watching over me
And if doing my part
Means being on my own,

If doing my part means now I'm on my own,
I'll be okay waking up alone.
