Lyrics
Letter From A Soldier
Hello Baby,
It's been a while
Tell me
How the hell are you?
We were friends
And we were lovers
Even though there have been others
Hello Baby,
I'm hanging in
Just to make it through the day
Hussein's men are playing for keeps
So I'm sorry, but I must stay
We have a history
You and me
Since before Time started
I know no matter where you go
Deep inside we never
Never parted
Hello Baby,
What do they say?
'Darkest hour before the dawn'
If you knew
The man that I am
Then you
Wouldn't feel so
Alone
Hello Baby,
What do I say?
Yeah, I still love you
We are here
The Freedom Fighters
Beating back the scumbags called al Qaeda
Hello Baby,
It's all brand new
They've never seen Democracy before
We stand here
Until it sinks in
We won't let them hurt you no more
Hello Baby,
How's the kids?
Brats, but still I love them so
Make me proud
In case it works out
That I'll never make it back home
Try, try,
Baby, don't you cry
Not too much 'cause you know
We had it all
Baby, my oh my
Heaven will finish what we started
Hello Baby,
Can't talk too loud
Tonight I'm on secret patrol
Shhhh
Bring 'em in
The things that they've missed
The freedom to be yourself at home
Hello Baby....
Hello Baby,
Across the world
Yes, you'll always be my girl
We both know
Though we had it all
What good's it with no place left to go?
We have a history
You and me
Since before Time started
No matter where I go
Deep down inside
You know we never parted
Hello Baby,
Let's play the game while we still can
In case this dance is through
I told you
That our day would come
In here
Or in Heaven
It'll do
Hello Baby,
Yeah
It sucks
Don't yell at me
You know it was the right thing to do
It's my watch
I'll stay till it's over
And I'll come back home to you
To you
Hello Baby!
God Bless,
Much Love,
~Lesley
