A Letter Home My darling, I am sitting here Beneath a nightime sky The battle sounds are silent I feel like I could cry. I miss you so, my darling I think of you each day My heart is filled with longing But you are far away. The guns for a while are silent My comrades are all asleep But I'm awake and missing you And now I've started to weep. Oh my dearest heart Each and every day I pray That I might survive this war And come safely home some day. My soul has grown so weary With this battle that we fight You are ever on my mind Every day and night. Darling, I must close this now For the sun's beginning to rise And I must somehow force back the tears That now fall from my eyes. Yes, a brand new day is dawning Another day of war But I'll keep praying for the day I hold you in my arms once more. And if the lord is merciful And the cruel fates turn kind Someday all my hopes and dreams Reality will find. Forgive the teardrops on this letter And just know that I love you And that I'm coming straight back home When this war is through.
