Stay in touch
You know how much I’ll miss you, when you are gone to war
I know you’ll be thinking of me, just as you have before
Each moment we are apart, will be a moment too long,
But, while apart my darling, we must, as one be strong
Devoted I know you are, to being the best you can
Telling me not to worry, my loving, unselfish man
I kiss you goodbye my darling, with an anxious heart
Terrified that this dreadful event, will keep us forever apart
Now, as I wave you on your way, to the stricken land
I clutch the child we love so dear, and wave his tiny hand
You turn back to us and smile, then continue along the track
Tears rolling down your cheeks, wondering if you will be back
Before you board the carrier, I shout to you my dear
Please ensure your safe return, because loneliness I fear
Contact me, by whatever means, obtainable to you
Because, while you are gone,
I know, I will be extremely blue
Selfish my thoughts, I know, but I just cannot hide
The pain of saying goodbye, as you relinquish my side
I look forward to the day, when you return to me victorious
But, for now my darling, goodbye, don’t forget to stay in touch
