Lyrics
So many things that I have to say
I hope this letter will find you okay
I'm thinking of you out there all alone
Hoping and praying that you make it home
I watch the news on the TV
Visions of bloodshed are all that I see
I picture you there determined and brave
Let your own life be among those you save
CHORUS:
You you've always been there for me
Can't see my life without you
I need you to come back to me
Make it back home soldier blue
Since you've been gone been a break in my heart
The pain it grows deeper each day we're apart
And all I can do is wait here for you
Till the day comes that you sail into view
But god you've been gone for so long
CHORUS:
You you've always been there for me
Can't see my life without you
I need you to come back to me
Make it back home soldier blue
BRIDGE:
I look into your heart and I see
You're much stronger than I could ever be
Lay your life on the line constantly
So that we can be free
CHORUS:
You you've always been there for me
Can't see my life without you
I need you to come back to me
Make it back home soldier blue
