Home Again

It's harder than I thought
To be so far away
So I thought I'd write this letter to you and explain
For me it wasn't easy to raise the flag and leave
But I thought that you should know how
Much you mean to me
I won't be there to see you dance and hear
You sing the songs we love
So please be strong and it won't be long till
I'm home again
You know you make me proud
Because you're the one that I depend upon
And when I return, I promise
I'll never leave you alone again
It's harder than I thought and you're so far away
So I thought I'd write this letter to you and explain
It was only a moment
I turned my head to wipe my eyes and
When I looked again I saw your smile that
Said goodbye
Mama says don't worry
Because Daddy's brave and he's coming
Home. But if I could change one thing
I'd never let you go
I want you here to see me dance and sing
Along to the songs we love
So I'll be strong. It won't be long till you're
Home again with me
When it feels too much to take
I want you to know that I'm thinking about
You, making plans for when I'm home
Why aren't you here?
I wake up every night
I check the front porch light
Making sure it's shining bright
And I'll be there to shine the light
So you can find your way to me
I'm feeling strong, but don't take too long
Please come home to me
I'll be there to see you dance and hear you
Sing the songs I love
It won't be long
It won't be long till I'm home again!
Why aren't you here?
I'm coming home!
