Gone, But Not Forgotten
You promised me that you would never leave my side,
But now you’ve left me all alone in this world.
I’m so lost now without my beautiful, young bride,
Left by myself to raise our little baby girl.
Was it something I did or said to you that was wrong
That made you want to leave me in such a hurry?
After you left, everyone told me I must be strong
And for our daughter’s sake, I should try not to worry.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you
And wonder if you had stayed, where our lives might be.
Now that our little girl is about to turn two,
I know there’ll be questions she’ll begin to ask of me.
She’ll want to know things from me about her mother.
It won’t be long now before she wonders where you are.
She’ll want to know if you ever really loved her,
Or if you miss her so much, on your heart is a scar.
I’ll tell her the truth about what really happened, I swear.
She’ll know that her mother had a tough choice to make.
I’ll show her the videos you sent from over there.
She’ll be proud of her mother who died for freedom’s sake.
