Soldier Off to War

Dancing under a cloudless, moonlit sky
The capture of Cupid's arrow is speechless
Love brings on overwhelming emotion
How I love to feel and dance like this.

The capture of Cupid's arrow is speechless
I never dreamed we would ever marry
How I love to feel and dance like this
On the eve of our first wedding anniversary.

I never dreamed we would ever marry
Then my soldier would be deployed to war
On the eve of our first wedding anniversary
We danced like we never have before.

My soldier would be deployed to war
On a cloudy, rainy Sunday afternoon
We danced like we never have before
Our love would blossom and bloom.

On a cloudy, rainy Sunday afternoon
I cried and asked him to stay home
Our love would blossom and bloom
But in the end, I knew I was alone.

I cried and asked him to stay home
Out of fear, love, and safety for him
But in the end, I knew I was alone
Time would divide us, and join us again.

Out of fear, love and safety for him
Love brings on overwhelming emotion
Time would divide us, but join us again
Dancing under a cloudless, moonlight sky.
