Loving an Army man is not always happy.
And loving him is a high price to pay.
It's mostly loving with nothing to hold,
It's being young, yet feeling old.
It's having him whisper his love to you,
It's whispering back that you love him too.
Then comes a kiss, a promise of love.
Knowing you're watched, approved from above.
Reluctantly, painfully, letting him go;
While your're dying inside from wanting him so.
Watching him leave with eyes full of tears,
Standing alone with hopes, dreams and fears.
It's sending a letter with the stamp upside down,
To a far away love in a far away town.
It's going to church to kneel and pray,
And really meaning the things that you say.
And though you know that he's far away,
You keep on loving him more each day.
Being in love will merit your dreams,
With thoughts of Heaven, where love's light gleams.
weeks are a month, a month's a year.
You're awaiting the day you'll have no more fear.
Time passes slowly, yet it's gone very fast,
You're barely aware it's here till it's past.
Remember, he's thinking of you every day,
He's sad and he's lonely for being away;
So love him, miss him, and be serene if you can,
And always be proud of loving an Army Man.
