My dear love, when you read this letter, don’t you cry
I’m already there right next to you, this is not a goodbye
Feel me in the warmth of the sun as it touches you face
Find me in the night when fireflies are all over the place
I know it’s been hard and we’ve been a little off the track
But it can’t falter my courage in the war, for you I’ll be Back
Austin, I am proud of you for you have become a fine lad
I build forts for you everyday, I miss you calling me Dad
Take care of our precious family, I realize the job is stern
As now, you are the man of the house until my return
And tell the girl how you feel, she’s a tough nut to crack
But you’ve got my obstinacy, before you know it, I’ll be back.
My little one, Annie, I think of you when I go to sleep
I hear your voice saying “one more story daddy please”
One day you’ll grow into a beautiful young woman
And even though some boy will leave you heartbroken
You’ll find a perfect gentleman, nothing he will lack
Someday you’ll wed, to walk you down the aisle, I’ll be back
I’m a soldier, I’ll fight ‘till I win, ‘till I live, ‘till it all turns black
But I promise you this, “I Will Always Always Come Back”.
