Happy Anniversary to My Soldier Far Away
Happy Anniversary to My Soldier Far Away
![]() |
You're my first thought every morning
My last thought every night
And all day long I'm praying
Fervent prayers that you'll be all right
It hurts so much to be apart
On this our special day
Fifteen years to celebrate
But, with you so far away
Yet, I promised God I wouldn't complain
If He'd just keep you in His care
And bring you safely back to me
Even if it takes a year
Tonight I'll dine alone again
With only warm memories to hold me
I'll remember all the good times
When your strong arms did enfold me
Please know that you are first with me
And...tho' you I sorely miss,
There'll be a smile upon my face
Remembering our first kiss
A million kisses later, I'm still thanking God for you
My soldier, so brave, handsome and true
You are the husband that I prayed for
My hero & my best friend, I'd wait a lifetime for you.
When you come back home we'll celebrate
Like there's no tomorrow
There'll be only room for smiles & cheers
No more tears or any sorrow
I can't wait to see your smile
As you get off the plane
I know that it will erase
Any prior gloom or pain
I'll be setting the table for two, my love
And waiting patiently, faithfully
To celebrate your homecoming
And all the years to be!
