If cries of weeping sorrow, along with thoughts I hold for you
Could be put into a dream, as I fall into a trance
The joy of total bliss with you, would caress each night with lust
I think of you when you're away, unable to hear your voice
The lullabies I sing to you, in the fantasies of my dreams
Makes me think you'll soon return, and fill my nights with love
Since you've left to fight a war, which seems so far away
I feel the lonely void, that share the days with me
I know the job you chose, forces us apart at times
But I never thought the separation, would last this awful long
The days have changed to months, and the months has become a year
How I wish the honor you uphold, could be an afterthought
I pine each night when you're not their, to share this bed with me
The empty pillow where you once reclined, is what I face each night
While the war you fight so far away, brings grief to my aching heart
I know one day this will change, and we'll settle into a normal life
But until that time arrives, my dear
I'll pray God shields your every breath, and brings you safely home
For the illusions I'll have of you tonight
Will last till the dawning of the morn, as you fade into the dew
