A SOLDIER'S THOUGHTS


There are many miles between us, this Vietnam war keeps us apart
but our hearts see not the distance, we loved each other from the start.
Drawing our love even closer, on this our hearts are insistent.
When you write my heart sings, I wish you knew the happiness it brings.
Just to hear a word from you, keeps my heart from missing you.
Longing for the day we greet again; two lonely hearts will then get to sing.
I heard your voice on the tape just the other day; so sweet and sexy in
every way.

I long to hold, to become one; to feel your gentle kiss, your body close to
mine.

To feel the intensity, oh so strong; longing, wanting you to be mine.
I love you truly, yes I do and after this war, I forever want to be with
you.
