Lyrics Dearest Sarah - Goodnight , Texas
Dearest
Sarah,
I'm
compelled
to
write
with
aching
fearful
hands
Just
in
case
I
never
make
it
back
I
left
our
family
weeks
ago
for
battle
stricken
lands
And
I
fear
I
wont
survive
the
next
attack
I
fled
Rhode
Island
willingly
to
join
the
Union
force
Understanding
I
may
never
know
my
boys
But
this
country's
strength
of
government
is
in
a
great
divorce
And
for
this
I
risk
my
life
and
all
its
joys
Oh
Sarah,
I
do
understand
within
my
sacrifice
Goes
nearly
every
joy
for
you
as
well
But
I
hope
you
sense
within
my
words
I
thought
about
it
twice
But
our
nation
cast
a
thick
momentus
spell
Oh
Sarah,
start
a
life
without
me
Raise
our
boys
to
gentlemen
Thrive
until
the
day
you
pass
away
and
we
can
meet
again
Understand
my
inner
fight
I
didn't
choose
the
war
I
sided
with
democracy
As
that
is
what
I'm
dying
for
Oh
Sarah,
my
love
for
you
is
deathless
Oh
Sarah,
my
love
for
you
is
deathless
Growing
up
without
my
father
Weighed
heavy
on
my
brain
And
I
dread
this
makes
my
children
dance
that
waltz
And
I'm
sure
at
times
your
trust
was
breaked
And
your
love
for
me
did
wane
But
I
ask
you
to
forgive
me
for
these
faults
And
I
can't
express
the
irony
of
the
peaceful
summer
breeze
Dusting
my
batallion
as
they
rest
'Cause
within
this
evening
warmness
lies
a
dark
and
icy
freeze
That
whispered
me
to
send
you
this
request
Oh
Sarah,
start
a
life
without
me
Raise
our
boys
to
gentlemen
Thrive
until
the
day
you
pass
away
and
we
can
meet
again
Understand
my
inner
fight
I
didn't
choose
the
war
I
sided
with
democracy
As
that
is
what
I'm
dying
for
Oh
Sarah,
but
my
love
for
you
is
deathless
Oh
Sarah,
it's
deathless
I
am
one
of
hundred
thousand
paying
all
that
we
can
pay
Standing
for
an
object
that
we
can't
see
Now,
raise
our
children
proudly
to
be
gracious
for
each
day
And
remind
them
of
the
reasons
they
are
free
If
it's
true
the
dead
can
drift
unseen
around
the
loves
they
had
Then
I
will
be
the
wind
upon
your
cheek
And
the
darkest
moments
in
your
life
will
not
be
so
bad
Because
I
will
be
your
strength
when
you
are
week
Oh
Sarah,
start
a
life
without
me
Raise
our
boys
to
gentlemen
Thrive
until
the
day
you
pass
away
and
we
can
meet
again
Understand
my
inner
fight
I
didn't
choose
the
war
I
sided
with
democracy
As
that
is
what
I'm
dying
for
Oh
Sarah,
but
my
love
for
you
is
deathless
Oh
Sarah,
my
love
for
you
is
deathless
Oh
Sarah,
my
love
for
you
is
deathless
Oh
Sarah,
my
love
for
you
is
deathless
