In the headlines and the TV news
There are soldiers who have paid their dues
And I've been waiting for a word from you
'cause you've been gone so long, ('cuz you've been gone so long)
And I
Check my e-mail and the postbox everyday
Waiting for a message that I hope will say
That all is well and you're coming home to stay (and you're coming home to stay)
And I
Hope you get this letter (–Hope you get this letter..)
Hope you get this letter today (–Hope you get this letter..)
I hope you get this letter someway
and I hope you get this letter
The battle lines have been drawn in the sand
and you're fighting in a foreign land
And it's hard for me to understand
('cuz you've been gone so long..)
'cause you've been gone so long
The president's said it's just begun
and we'll keep fighting till the war is won
but you can't wait that long to see your son
'cause we miss you and we love you
and we're always thinking of you.
I try to push my sadness aside
I try to keep my feelings alive
I'm trying not to go out my mind..
but I don't know what to do without you, baby
I'm hoping you will come home to stay
I'm praying 'cause you're so far away
I just can't wait another day
and I hope you get this letter..
Hope you get this letter
Hope you get this letter
Hope you get this letter today
I hope you get this letter -someway..
and I hope you get this letter
Hope you get this letter,
Hope you get this letter,
Hope you get this letter,
And I hope you get this letter today..
Hope you get this letter someway
and I hope you get this letter..
