For all years he’s known her
So many times they laughed, they cried, but love withstood it all
Remembering how he told her
He gently wipes her tears away, the soldier got his call
The kids can’t understand why Daddy’s gone
She’ll double up their love for them, as freedom marches on
She’s stronger than the wind that blows across the Southern Plains
She’s calmer than the sky above after a passing summer rain
She’s as brave as any man I’ve met who wears our uniform
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back”, he told her
She’s the wife of a soldier
The future may be cloudy
But through it all she knows she has a role to play
She doesn’t even know them
But she prays for families like her own a half a world away
They’re shipping ‘em out all across our land
God, send each one an angel, to take him by the hand
She’s stronger than the wind that blows across the Southern Plains
She’s calmer than the sky above after a passing summer rain
She’s as brave as any man I’ve met who wears our uniform
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back”, he told her
She’s the wife of a soldier
At night he hears her whisper, it’s only in his mind, he’s all alone
She lies awake half dreaming, but cannot help to wonder…
Is he ever coming home?
She’s stronger than the wind that blows across the Southern Plains
She’s calmer than the sky above after a passing summer rain
She’s as brave as any man I’ve met who wears our uniform
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back”, he told her
"No, no don’t worry, I’ll be back”, he told her
She’s the wife of a soldier
He's coming home now, he's coming home soon
Ahhh, he's coming home, coming home
