She awaits by the phone
Hoping he will call
He fights in a foreign land
She prays no harm comes to him at all

The sound of his voice
Brings her to tears
He is still unharmed
It relieves a bit of her fears

She wishes to see him
For him to hold her
God she loves him
Her American Soldier

Everyday that goes by
When he is not around
Her mind races
Her heart aches and pounds

What will she do
If he gets harmed
Their romance will last for ever
Their love is charmed

She raises their children alone
With a stead fast pride
Will be mother and father
Till he is back at her side

Been only a couple of months
A few more to go
Still she cries and says she loves him
He tells her he misses her so

She tells him to be safe
To come back to her
He whispers I will and I love you
She is relieved at his answer

She will be strong
She has to be patient she knows
But she cant wait for him to come home
So she can kiss her hero
