When I read the letter that you?re going to war
My heart began to quiver
My legs began to shake
I couldn?t read no more
I took a pen from your Fathers den
The finest one in the drawer
And wrote down all the memories
As if I wasn?t gonna see you no more

Like the surprise look that you got on your face
With you first new bike
And the first little girl friend met
That is now your wife

(Chorus)
This is my letter to my child
I write
Hold your head up and be proud
Day and night
Hope the weathers not too cold or too wild
This is my letter to my child

The days go by, sit around the dinner table wondering why
How people can be so cruel, and make others cry
Your unborn child is on its way; it?s a girl they say
I know you?ll be home in time, for her first birthday

So stay safe
Take care of yourself
Hope we?ll see you soon
Remember that we love you
By the way your babies name is June

Chorus -repeat

This is my letter to my child

This is my letter to my child
