This Letter

In the headlines and the TV news

There are soldiers who have paid there dues

And i've been waiting for a word from you

Cause you've been gone so long, and I

Check my email 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 I

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 its hard for me to understand

Cause you've been gone so long

The president's said its 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



Hop e 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
