Im trying so hard not to cry
I never knew it would be so hard
Just the thought of you going away
Is tearing up my heart
The tears pour from my eyes
And trickle down my face
With memories of your kiss
And of your sweet embrace
I know you have to go now
But I dont know what to do
You are going to leave and fight for your country
And I am so proud of you
But I cant lie and smile baby
And hide from you my tears
Theyre falling cuz I care for you
Theyre falling for my fears
The months ahead seem so long
But I must take it day by day
Remembering things weve done
Or the words Ive heard you say
I will be here waiting
Standing strong and on my own
Counting down the days, baby
The days till you come home
