AS THE LEAVES FALL

Oh the trees were brilliant colors
On the day that you left home
Then Winter came and blanketed
Everything with cold and snow

The rains of Spring, with birds that sing
And then Summer's blistering heat
Ah the coolness in the evenings
As the Fall returns to me

Sure wish you could come back to me
As this cycle starts again
It’s lonely here without you
Miss my Soldier, my best friend

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Oh Sweet Soldier of mine 
Please be safe, free of harm
Thinking of you as the leaves fall
I need you in my arms
~~*~~

I can hear the children laughing 
Wish that it would ricochet
And find its way into my heart
That is missing you today

I watch everyone around me
As they go on with their lives
While you’re fighting for our Country
Knowing all you sacrifice

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Oh Sweet Soldier of mine 
Please be safe, free of harm
Thinking of you as the leaves fall
I need you in my arms
~~*~~

I endure my time without you
Won’t deny how hard it gets
As the leaves are slowly falling
And you haven’t come home yet

You’re a Soldier, and I love you
You’re the greatest man I know
You’re heart’s always beat with honor
And I knew that you would go

But I pray that you’ll come home soon
You've been all that you can be
Thinking of you as the leaves fall
Wishing you were here with me

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Oh Sweet Soldier of mine 
Please be safe, free of harm
Thinking of you as the leaves fall
I need you in my arms
~~*~~
As the leaves fall...
~~*~~
