Dear Soldier

We said hello and exchanged hearts

then some eleven months later we had to say good-bye

no more day to day visits or goodnite kisses
just letters that started dear soldier and ended forever yours

You've had my heart from that first dance,

we've started a fairytale romance.
this distance has made me believe in you and me.

my hero, my love, my best friend thats what you'll always be to me

The months passed like years and finally

that day in June came along.

My heart skipped so many beats and I tried to hold back the tears.

But they boy that I loved had turned to a man standing in front of me with an army uniform and a great big smile.

mmhm that hug was worth while.

You've had my heart from that first dance,

we've started a fairlytale romance.

this distance has made me believe in you and me.

my hero, my love, my best friend thats what you'll always be to me.

I'll never forget that special nite,

we laid under the stars so bright.

You had that special smile you have just for me and

you got down on one knee and said those four special words

that made my heart sing.

"will you marry me" and I said

You've had my heart from that first dance,

we've started a fairytale romance.

this distance has made me believe in you and me.

my hero, my love, my best friend thats what you'll always be to me.

Now, I don't know what the future holds.

How many trips you'll have to be away from me.

But I'll be waiting for that man in a patchy green uniform day after day.

Who stole my heart with those swift words and big grin

and remember to sign every letter to dear soldier and end forever yours.
