Joining the Army (original)

This is a song I wrote for my boyfriend before he left for the Army. PS sorry for the quality/singing voice. Working on both of 'em...

Lyrics:

Caught inside your coat pocket
You found my heart when you thought I lost it
And you Held me like I was the only thing that you'd need
That's why it hurt so bad when you told me you'd have to leave

He said I'm joining the Army
And that is the way it has to be
He said I'm joining the Army
But baby I'm doing this for you and me

And he told me honey take this ring and wear it as a promise to me
That you won't leave me while I am gone
And if you promise you will wriet me everyday
Then it won't seem like I am so very far away

Because he's joining the Army
But I know he's doing this for you and me
He said I'm joining the Army
So I can become the man that you need

So I told him I'll take this ring and wear it as a promise to you
That I won't leave you while you are gone
And yes I promise I will write you everyday
Though it won't ease the pain 'cause your so very far away

I know you're where you belong they'll make you Army strong
Oh they'll make you strong
But can you keep your promise please
Will you come back to me
Come back to me
Please
Please come back to me

Because he's joining the Army
And that is the way it has to be

Beautiful song. My boyfriend is in the Marines and he leaves for his 2nd deployment soon. I just graduated from college and I will be joining the Army in a couple months. I don't know how we are going to do it with both of us gone.

Thank you so much for commenting. It always means a lot to know my music reaches people in the same situations and that they really get it, you know? I wish you all the luck with your boyfriend. It gets really hard but it's little things like songs and letters that keep you going.

Where is he going to basic? If you don't mind me asking.

My boyfriend was deployed to Iraq last year. He'll be coming home in a few weeks. This sounds exactly like we went through when he told me he was going to join the Army. God bless everyone in the Military. And God bless everyone at home, waiting for our soldiers to return to us, safe and sound.

Lots of love :)
