SHE WAS TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND
WHY HER DADDY WAS LEAVING
FOR A FAR AWAY LAND
ALL SHE KNEW ABOUT WAR WAS WHAT SHE SAW ON TV
SOLDIERS WERE DYING AND SHE WAS SCARED AS COULD BE
SO THE DAY THAT HE LEFT, SHE HUGGED HIM REAL TIGHT
AND SAID I
AND SHE PRAYED
CHORUS
GOD BLESS MOMMY, MY DOGGIE AND ME
BLESS EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY
GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY AND WHATEVER YOU DO
GOD BLESS MY SOLDIER TOO
GOD BLESS MY SOLDIER TOO
MOST EVERYDAY SHE SENT LETTERS FROM HOME
JUST TO TELL HIM SHE MISSED HIM
AND HOW MUCH SHE
SHE
THAT WASN
THEN SHE
TO MAKE SURE HE KNEW THAT SHE AND GOD CARED
REPEAT CHORUS
THE DAYS TURNED TO MONTHS AND THE MONTHS TO A YEAR
SHE PRAYED AND SHE PRAYED SO SWEET AND SINCERE
AND WHEN HE FINALLY CALLED AND SAID I
SHE WHISPERED THESE WORDS TO HIM THROUGH THE PHONE
REPEAT CHORUS
