Lirieke: Eugene Lyricist. Soldier's Letters.

(Verse)
Reading letters sent from home
As I fight in a foreign land
thinking of holding you in my arms
Instead of this gun in my hand

(verse)
I had to heed when duty called
And looking back from the plane
As you stood waving, the flag in hand
Would we ever be the same

(chorus)
They may be simple letters
But they're what I needed to get me through
So full of hope and promise
And signed with love from you

(verse)
finding myself needing you
For support to keep me safe
From the sadness of not being home
As I'm stuck in this violent place

(verse)
I'm proud to serve, to sacrifice
We both have jobs to do
I will help make the world safe place
as I read these letters sent from you

(chorus)
They may be simple letters
But they're what I needed to get me through
So full of hope and promise
And signed with love from you

(verse)
They take me back to yesterday
A day of perfect dreams
And endings like in story books
Or Bogart movie scenes

(verse)
Someday we'll tell our kids
Just what we have been through
And open up the box of letters
That I brought back home to you

(br)
A treasure box of soldier's letters
That I brought home to you

(chorus)
They may be simple letters
But they're what I needed to get me through
So full of hope and promise
And signed with love from you
