I look in the starry sky
Wondering how you are
Tears cling to my lashes
Knowing your so far
I lay in the cold bed
Where you once laid
Cuddling onto the pillows
Knowing the cost you've paid
You said you'd be back
You said you'd be ok
But now I'm at your grave
As silent whispers i say
With each word leaving my lips
In such a hushed tone
Going back to that day
When I answered the phone
They said you'd been shot
They said you didn't make it
I fell to the floor in agony
Going through horrible fits
Our baby still in my stomach
How can he grow up without a father
How much misery will he go through
His life will be so much harder
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could had said something more
But now I lay here without you
and my heart feels so sore
You said it was your duty
You said it was for me
You said it was for our country
Oh how can this be
It's time honey
Our baby boy is here
Oh how he looks like you
Holding him close and near
It's been 3 years
He's starting to ask
What do I tell him?
I have to think of something fast
How can I tell him your in heaven
How do I tell him his daddy is dead
I'm not prepared for this at the least bit
How can this be said?
I finally got up the nerve
Hes starting to cry
He finally knows
I let out a deep sigh
I wrap him in my arms
Holding him tight
Trying to comfort him
All through the night
15 years has past
He's grown up just like you
He's found his true love
And now it's time for him to say I do
