Home From The Marines
You came home from the Marines,
And today I saw you for the very first time.
You looked so different... so nice...
I really didn't mean to cry!
It was just seeing
After so long,
I realized my love for you
Was still as strong!
You said you were going back
In a few days.
Again, we seemed to be going
Our separate ways.
You said, "Be good,"
As I said, "Bye...".
Tears were in my eyes,
But I couldn't let you see me cry.
So I turned
And walk away.
There wasn't anything else
I could say.
I don't wantyou to leave!
You just got home!
Last time you went,
You stayed away so long...
I know you just think of us as friends,
But I miss you when you're gone.
Now I keep hoping you'll return
Safely home.
I know you're doing
What you want to do,
But, please, be careful
Because I still love you!
You must understand
What seeing you did to me...
I felt recaptured by the love
I thought had set me free.
I know I have said,
"I love you", before
But now... I love you
So much more!!!
I promise I'll "be good",
If you promise, not to get hurt or die!
You know I'll always love you...
I can't lie...
I don't know how to end this,
But I am not saying, "Goodbye!"
(I'll never say, "Goodbye".)
And you're the reason why!
