Diane Chase - Soldier's Wife lyrics

She was proud man's daughter and a beautiful one He was a football star and generals son Flowers in her hair and love in her eyes She became a soldier's wife She has a pa**ionate heart and a gentle hand And the promise of forever in a wedding band Oh to carry that weight takes a special kind Said she's proud to be a soldier's wife Chorus: It takes all of her strength when he's gone Cause the days are hard and the nights are long But she knew the risk and the sacrifice When she became a soldier's wife Before too long they had a baby girl She mailed him letters and pictures Of her little blonde curls And she prays Lord please bring him home all right Cause that the keep of a soldier's wife Chorus: It takes all of her strength when he's gone Cause the days are hard and the nights are long But she knew the risk and the sacrifice When she became a soldier's wife One day their little girl walked out that door Following a man in a uniform It was destiny for a new young bride When she became a solider's wife Oh to carry that weight takes a special kind She's a soldier's wife
