Fight this War Lyrics

For the red, white and blue flag
Pack your big your green bags
Off to fight terror once more
Round two over seas you go
Kiss me and hug me
Tell me you love me
Hold me once before you go
The next 15 months will go slow
The next 15 months will go slow
Absence only makes the heart grow fonder
Living apart makes it only harder
I’m proud, worried, scared
Ache to embrace what we share
There’s only one for me in this world
I’ll fight this battle
While you fight this war
I feel like a stone
Left to pass time alone
With you gone, this house is not a home
Our dreams we’ll postpone
I’ll await the unknown
I long to hear your voice on the phone
I long to hear your voice on the phone
Absence only makes the heart grow fonder
Living apart makes it only harder
I’m proud, worried, scared
Ache to embrace what we share
There’s only one for me in this world
I’ll fight this battle
While you fight this war
You learn survivor skills
While I learn loneliness
A soldier’s wife must remain strong
My yearn for you, my love for you
Shines brightly through
Anything you see go wrong
Anything you may see go wrong
Absence only makes the heart grow fonder
Living apart makes it only harder
I’m proud, worried, scared
Ache to embrace what we share
There’s only one for me in this world
I’ll fight this battle
While you fight this war
