Jessie Traufler- Letters from Sea (original song)

Dedicated to my father and mother:

This song is inspired by the letters my daddy would write to us (mom, sister, brother, me) when he was away at sea. (He was a sailor in the US Navy)

LYRICS:

Dear Jessie,
How are you baby?
Mommy tells me you've been really good.
I loved your picture of your penny piggy bank,
you've gotten good, I'm proud of you.
All grown up, my little girl,
I can't believe you reach my sleeve.
And I'll be home
Before you know it
So soon I promise
Now don't forget, I love you.
Forever more, forever and ever
and ever and ever my little girl.

Dear Jessie,
Hey baby,
did you get your present in the mail?
how was your birthday?
I'm sad I wasn't there,
but its okay, the world says hey.
Now stay away from all those boys,
and help your mom and brother and sister.
And I'll be home
Before you know it
So soon I promise
Now don't forget, I love you.
Forever more, forever and ever
and ever and ever my little girl.

Dear Jessie
How are you baby?
Heard your weather's getting pretty rough.
Please be safe and please take care and
know I think about you everyday.
I found your picture of your penny piggy bank
and my god, you're so grown now.
And i can't wait, till you come home.
Hopefully time passes soon,
I love you.
Forever more, forever and ever
and ever and ever my little girl.

This should be the anthem for all sailor's children who wait for their mom's and dad's return. Would love permission to post on the U.S. Navy FB page, I mean it! Winky White, Yokosuka, Japan

@uinkii I would be absolutely honored! :)

Great song, beautiful voice young lady! Keep it up and I agree with Winky (who i know from my tour in Yokosuka, Japan), you should let him post it. Every sailor on the sea should here this one. Really hits the spot! OS1(SW) Kyle Morrison, US NAVY (Retired)

So, I just heard this today...and it's been stuck in my head, already. :P I LOVE IT. I miss your voice, your face, your big ol' eyes, and singing with you for money. Btw, the song....BANGWORTHY. Made me sad, but in a good reflecting kind of way.

More more more por favorr :D

Btw, the style of the song reminded me a lot of Yuna (I love her). If you haven't heard of her, check out some of her songs, you'll know what I'm talking about. Miss you, we gotta catch up
