Lonely Soldier - William Bell

It’s been so long since I’ve heard from my man

But a letter came today

And it touched the bottom of my soul

And it must have been in some quiet moment

On a terrible battlefield

When he had these words to say:

It’s been so long since I’ve been home

And I just thought that I would write

Oh, I hope these words will come to you

On some dark and lonely night

Don’t you know, my love is real?

(Yes, I know his love his real)

Oh, don’t you see just how I feel (How he feels)

Oh, I’m alone, just a lonely soldier boy

Oh, people beg to get back to home

I know it’s hard (So hard)

While we’re apart (We're apart)

So, darling, just have a little faith

Oh, you won’t regret my love for you

If you would only, only wait

Don’t you know, my love is real?

(Yes, I know his love his real)

Oh, don’t you see just how I feel (How he feels)

Oh, I’m alone, just a lonely soldier boy

And sometimes, as I sit here

You know, my heart is frozen with fear

And I think about the good times we had

And it’s in times like this, that missing you hurts so bad

I’m a lonely soldier boy (Lonely, lonely, lonely)

Oh, I’m alone, just a lonely soldier boy

Yeah, I’m coming home (He's coming home)

Oh, wait for me (He's coming home)

I’m coming home, yeah (He's coming home)

I’m coming on home, and I know

And I know that I love you

This soldier boy loves you, baby
