	Story Behind the Song My sister-in-laws brother is somewhere in the Persian Gulf. I wrote this song for his wife. It took me a couple weeks to get the lyrics then a lot of takes to get it somewhat right. My wife decided to add her voice to it. Lyrics A Soldiers Wife The kids are off to school the clothes are on the line The letter that she wrote said everyone is fine Pappy had a birthday Mama's loosin' weight So don't you worry honey we're all doin' is great chorus But the weight inside her heart was gettin' heavy Each day she felt her courage slip away She knew this war could not go on forever Life was gettin' harder every day verse She put a drop of perfume below the final line The X's and the O's said I'll love you for all time She hoped he wouldn't see the tear drops that fell Among the words of love that she always wrote so well chorus But the weight inside her heart was gettin' heavy Each day she felt her courage slip away She knew this war could not go on forever Life was gettin' harder every day Verse She sat there at the table tryin' to hide her fear Afraid to read the telegram her eyes filled with tears With shaking hands she touched it she felt so all alone It said; Honey it's over I'm comin' home chorus And the weight inside her heart was getting lighter Each time she read the note her courage grew She knew her love would now go on forever She knew the tears and hurt were finally through Repeat
