[instrumental intro]
[Verse]
He's been up and down all night, hm
Watches her sleep and his heart starts aching because when the morning sunsets he leaves because he's a soldier,
[Chorus]
The soldier is crying softly as he watches her sleep no one is about to leave her,
The soldier is crying because he doesn't know for sure if he will ever make it back home to her,
The soldier is crying because he won't be there to see his baby girl born,
The soldier is brave to fight for our country but even soldiers cry, mmm
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Now the morning is here as she drives him to the airport for his departure, hm
He can feel her hands shaking and he squeezes her hand tight and tells her I love you honey,
Please keep me in your prayers,
As he steps out of the vehicle, gives her a final hug and kiss, he makes his way to the aircraft with a brave face but deeply inside
[Chorus]
The soldier is crying softly because he is leaving her today,
The soldier is crying because he doesn't know for sure if he will ever make it back home to her,
The soldier is crying because he won't be there to see his baby girl born,
The soldier is brave to fight for our country but even soldiers cry, mmm
[Outro]
Now it's been 5 years since she saw him however she wrote to him letter after letter everyday telling them how their little girl in these steps and the process she made,
The soldier read them all the time,
Kept his Spirit going in his will to carry on, mmm
he makes a surprise return to them and
[Final Chorus]
The soldier is crying as he lays his eyes for the first time on his little girl, hm
The soldier is crying as he gets to Hold his beautiful wife once again,
The soldier is crying not for sadness but for happiness that he made back home, hmm
The Soldier is brave,
but even soldiers cry.
