My Daughter Beth wrote this for me when I left for Iraq:
i love you daddy
you don't know how much I'll miss you
you'll never know how much it hurts me to watch you leave
you'll never know...
what it feels like to watch your sisters cry
wondering if you'll come home or die
mommy loves you like a brother
and you're my dad there will be no other
you got divorced when i was young
and mommy just stuck out her tongue
she hated you for years
but now she's in tears
because her best friends going out to war
she watched you leave with his troop through the doubled-door
and you'll never know...
what if feels like to watch your sisters cry
wondering if you'll come home or die
mommy loves you like a brother
and your my dad tere will be no other
you said they'll try to take you away
but you wont't let them 'cause you cant wait for the day
to see me
you won't let the bad guys take you away
i thought you left because you didn't like me
you had to go protect the country
i wasn't gonna let you leave me
and trust me it wasn't easy
somewhere in me i have a clue
that mybe one day i'll tell you...
what it feels like to watch your sisters cry
wondering if you'll come home or die
mommy loves you like a brother,
and you're my dad there is no other
