A Lonely Soldier

Lonely soldier

A lonely soldier sat by his bedside
Writing a letter with tears in his eyes
Why he was crying was a mystery to me
Until he repeated these words in his sleep

It's been so long since I've been gone
And I just stopped to write
And oh, I hope these words will comfort you
Some dark and lonely night

Don't you know my love is real?
Don't you know just how I feel? (How I feel)
Your lonely soldier boy

And I'll be so glad to get back home because
I know it's hard while we're apart
So darling, just have a little faith
And oh, you won't regret my love for you
If you will only wait

Don't you know my love is real?
Girl, can't you see just how I feel? (How I feel)
Oh, I'm such a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely soldier boy

Oh yeah, a lonely soldier boy
