To My Marine
What do I have to say to you
 To make you understand
 You’re more to me than family
 And as you take me by the hand
 You tell me you know what you want
 What you want to do
 I tell you I don’t want that
 And that you know I’ll miss you
  
 
 Yes your fierce and brave
 But inside it makes me cry
 I can’t imagine you not here
 Or the thought that you could die
 So please stop torturing me now
 Before I lose my mind
 Because when you come back home
 I’ll be here for you to find
 
  
 Please tell me you’ll be careful
 And even as you fight
 Remember me here at home
 Thinking of you each night
 I know you want to protect us
 But can’t you do that here?
 I don’t want you to go!
 How can I make that clear?
  
 
 It might not be what you want
 But still its there for me
 It won’t change forever
 Even if we’ll never be
 I won’t make promises that I won’t keep
 But to you, I’ll say it true
 No matter what happens there
 Remember that I love you
