When you told me you loved me, I knew that it was true,
You would do anything for me, and I would do anything for you.
As I gazed into your eyes, as blue as the sky,
I knew that I would never be able to say goodbye.
But this is what you always wanted, you dream come true,
And as much as it hurt me there was nothing I could do.
I told you a thousand times I didn't want you to go,
But as much as I tried, I knew you wouldn't say no.
As we laid in the green grass, the wind whispering in our ears,
As much as I tried I couldn't hold back my tears.
I told you how I was scared and you told me not to be,
That you would do everything you could to come back to me.
You said serving our country was what you were meant to do,
And no matter how much I hated it I knew it was true.
We stayed up all night talking; I didn't want it to end,
You were everything to me, you were my best friend.
I think of all the times we've spent together, I'll never forget them,
They'll stay with me forever.
You told me to remember that you would always be mine
And to not worry so much because you would be fine
And as the day draws near when you'll go off to war, just
Know that I'll love you even more.
And know that you have brought me so much joy,
As you go off to be my soldier boy.
