A SOLDIER'S CHRISTMAS LETTER

MUSIC: Jake Hook
WORDS: Jeff Chegwin, Jake Hook, Nick Patrick

This time of year
It hurts the most
Daddy's not at home
I wish I could be back...

She takes comfort
From the letter he wrote
She keeps them close
and she cries alone

On Christmas eve
As you go to sleep
I'll be missing you
Sending you my love

My letter reads

At Christmas time
It hurts the most
One day you'll understand
I'm gone but not forgotten
I wish I could walk
Through the front door
With Presents in my hands
to see your face once more

On Christmas eve
As you go to sleep
I'll be missing you
Sending you my love

My love will go on
My words come from afar
I'll be missing you
I'll be holding you

This time of the year
It hurts the most
Daddy's not at home
He'll be missing you
He'll be missing you

On Christmas day
When you awake
I'll be missing you
Sending you my love
