A soldier stops to make a wish
Upon a shooting star
He thinks of all the things he’ll miss
Now that he’s so far.
The sweet smell of her hair
And the way she used to smile
He hopes his love will reach
Across the many miles.
He’ll miss the way he held her close
With her head against his heart
Wishing he was with her
And they weren’t so far apart.
He’ll miss her gentle voice
Seeing his future in her eyes
He knows a love this strong
Will surely never die.
He’ll miss the sound of laughter
And how he’d watch her sleep
He knows the love he feels for her
Has never run so deep.
He’ll miss her tender kiss
And the way she held his hand
He hopes when he returns
He’ll wear her wedding band.
