AN EYE IN THE NIGHT
I’ve longed to hold you
Close to me….
And look into your eyes
With glee….
I long to kiss and hug you tight
And tuck you into bed at night
But I’m here stuck away from you
It’s something that I have to do
And make sure you’re always safe from harm
With patches on my shirt sleeve’s arm
I keep an eye out in the night
So all of you can sleep real tight
It’s what we do when we’re away
A soldier for the USA
And yes it is a sacrifice
For you we will lay down our lives
We’ll never turn and shy away
We fight this war yes, everyday
But one day soon I will meet you
I know I’ll shed a tear or two
And looking at your little hands
Gives promise to this simple man
My uniform means freedom rings
For all the summers and the springs
That you are safe from outward harm
That’s why these stripes are on my arm
I keep an eye out in the night
So all of you can sleep real tight
It’s what we do when we’re away
A soldier for the USA
Yeah, we’ll keep fighting for what we know is right
So this world can sleep safe tonight
And truth be told I miss you bad
But soon you’ll meet me….
I’m your dad
I keep an eye out in the night
So all of you can sleep real tight
It’s what we do when we’re away
A soldier for the USA
It’s what we do when we’re away
A soldier for the USA
Looooove this!!!!
