Pack your bags
Pack your boots
Throw my heart in
With the rest of you
Lying here
Pretending I'm asleep
You're so quiet
Tryin' not to wake me
Close the door
So I can finally weep
Long after you've gone
My love's still strong
You'll always be there
Time slowly drifts by
Lonely am I
Just a soldier's wife
I read your letters
To the kids
I left out
Our secret bits
Lying here in the dark
In your old shirt
While we're apart
The smell of you
Calms this aching heart
Long after you've gone
My love's still strong
You'll always be there
Time slowly drifts by
Lonely am I
Just a soldier's wife
