And here we are in present time
As I sit here and make a rhyme
I know that you are coming home
within a week or two
Nothing can get me down
nothing can steal my joy
as I play with our kids
and kiss our baby boy
The tune of life and color
have returned to me once more
no longer do my days drain together
life is no longer an awful bore
You will be in my arms
before the month is through
no memory is sweeter now
than the thought of being held by you.

We have been through the tunnels
we have traversed through the dark
we have cradled and ignited the spark
within our hearts
We have rekindled our love
from ashes and beyond
and now nothing mortal
could break that lasting bond
A father and a mother
a soon husband and a wife
that will build their kingdom together
and have a wonderful life
Please let me hold your hand
whenever you have one free
because you know this true
nothing else frees me

Well that was quick, a phone call
after you left for training
I'm coming home baby doll
I quit.
No... What? That is not like you
is this really the man I love?
What did they do?
You called back a few days later
your voice was very low
You told me things that others can not know
All that mattered was that
you are coming home to me
and that our life will start
with us together happily.

I knew you always wanted to go
It was your dream I know,
But we just started this life
Of forever being together
The Army... They finally can take you in
To deprive you of this dream,
would be my most regretted sin...
I will stand beside you,
and raise the flag too.
I will be an army wife
and this can be our life...

You claimed my children as your own
so no one could say a thing
you didn't care who would condone
the life that this would bring
You wanted it to be our family
now and forever
and I knew that we could do it
because we're better together.
You took my name and cleansed it
of when it had been defiled
because the facts fell into place
they settled those that were riled.

Your mother and the others
apologized to me
I forgave them on the spot
and that set me free
You, my mother and I
started looking for a home
we found one that was nearby
So we packed up all our things
back into the big truck
and then you presented me
with our wedding rings.

I called you at 2 am
GET HERE NOW
The baby is coming
What!? Where?! When?! How
Baby, South Carolina, NOW... just get here
You got to the hospital with time to spare
and the only thing we could do was stare.
You gave me a kiss
and you held my hand...
my fear crept in and I asked you to stand
My mother left the room
and you took the place beside me
I had our son that night
and you were there to guide me
You patted the sweat from my face
and after he was born
our future fell into place.
Come back with me you whispered
How can I, I replied,
You said I don't know and sighed
I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
lets get carried away
and lets just move
We can get our own home
No more need to roam
lets settle down
in a small town...

When I said I love you..
And You walked away
I had nothing left to say
I can't tell you how much I cried
I felt as though I should have died
I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat
its a wonder that I survived.
I kept my head high
and I started work so I wouldn't cry
Then one day I got a call
and I had to sit down so I didn't fall
You were sitting right down the street!?
I ushered you in, I didn't want a fight
I had been up all night.
I told you how this wasn't right.
You begged with me and pleaded
and you sang that first song again
I wished then you had just shot me
I wished that you would just set me free.
I told you that it was time to go
and your eyes lost all their glow
The way mine did when your love didn't show
when you showed me someone I didn't know
So you left and we both were miserable
in agony, turmoil and pain.
we both felt a little insane.

So here we are again, I was right
when I was hesitant from the fight
When they whisper doubt into your mind
It breaks the ties that bind
They removed me from your heart
and they tore our love apart
We took the stupid test,
and it came back with no results.
can we please give this a rest
I really was done.
and I would really live for the kids and me.
When I went back to S.C.
I was ready to turn my life around

Is it even yours?! That is what she asked you?
But its all okay, right, you told her what was true...
You told them the due date... Yeah it can't be right
Because we only had a select few nights...
But you can't loose your sight...
Look at me... You know who I am
and who cares what they say, I don't give a ****
We both know that this child is ours
so stop listening before this sours.
You want the kids and I to move in with Nan, and You?
I can tell you the truth I don't really want to.
Because I can see what this will do..
But oh well, lets go they will soon know whats true.
