As the dawn begins to break, I see headlights br The farm is just a ways down the road br I wonder if she knows, I'm coming br And I wonder , if she is there alone br br It's been a year since the war called me br I went away to do what I had to do br It's been a year since I held her in my arms br It's been a year, shes had time to choose br br I've seen many soldiers get the letter br Letters from someone that said goodbye br And each time the mail when it would come br I would brace myself and worry if I got mine br br Now it's been a year and I'm coming home br But time can change ones mind sometimes br And if shes waiting like she said she would br Then today will be the day I make her mine br br I kept every letter that she wrote br In battle I kept them close to my heart br She has always been the world to me br I couldn't imagine my life with out my sweet heart br br As I pull into the drive I can see br Someone has raised a flag with one lone star br And I can see a banner just beneath br And I read as I pull up in the car br br ' The love of my life ' br ' Is fighting for your Life ' br ' Dear God ' br ' Please let him come back home to me '.
