I wake up every morning to an empty bed
Tears wanna fall but I fight 'em off instead
It ain't no use, tears won't bring you home
I jump right in on work I need to do
It helps keep me busy, and it helps me follow through
All the smiles I have to give to everyone I know
No, I don't want you to worry. I'm doing okay.
It's so hard missing you every single day, oh
It's not easy to be a soldier's wife
Sure hurts to be alone each and every night
Living life without you here, it just don't feel right
But my pride it overflows
And my love for you grows and grows
My friends are calling all the time
Checking up on me every day since you've been gone
Saying they're sorry for what I'm going through
I tell them it's hard, but I'm doing good
God bless my husband and all who follow suit
Fighting proud for the country they love
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
And my relief is thinking about you, oh
It's not easy to be a soldier's wife
But for a life of freedom, I'll share your sacrifice
And even though you're gone, you're still my life
And my pride, it overflows
And my love for you grows and grows
I'll wait for you, you know
As my love just grows and grows
