A Soldier's Love

A Soldiers Love

A young Soldier fell in love with a sweet Virginia girl,
She won his heart through and through.
They planned to be married, never be apart,
Together their dreams would come true.

He was stationed in Virginia with eight months to go,
He dreamed of the hand that he would hold.
The notice came in, his heart fell to the floor
The young Soldier was going off to war.

And he cried will you love me while I'm gone
Will you be faithful and true?
And will you think about me night and day
As I am dreaming of you

His heart was breaking at the thought of leaving her
The tears fell from his eyes
He tried not to worry but there was just no use
He didn't want to say goodbye

He boarded the plane that would take him far away
She waved and tried to smile
He promised her he would make it back home
One way either dead or alive

And he cried will you love me while I'm gone
Will you be faithful and true?
And will you think about me night and day
As I am dreaming of you

One year later they brought her Soldier home
The tears how they did flow
He put his arms around her once again
And he said I will never more roam

And she cried I have loved you for so long
And I've been faithful and true
And I've thought about you every night and day
And I know you have dreamed of me too

And he cried I have loved you for so long
And I have been faithful and true
And I dreamed about you every night and day
And I know you dreamed of me too
