Sitting alone on the beach at the sea
Waiting for you to come back home to me
I've watched and I've waited for many a month
And I'll wait many more dear for thee

The day that we parted was sunny and clear
It felt so refreshing to still have you near
The kids and I laughed with you as you remarked
I'll be back real soon . . . don't you fear

Darling, I know it's a real cruel war
Like one that you've never been in before
But it has been days and I've heard not a word
Oh, Darling, I'm praying for you

Praying that God in His infinite power
Will guide and protect all our soldiers over there
And help to bring peace to a war torn land
Oh, I pray that you're safe in my prayers

The children, they miss you, they try to be brave
They tell all their friends that their daddy is safe
I have tried to protect them from the sadness of war
But I still see the tears on their face

While I'm sitting alone, on this beach at the sea
I feel the warm presence of someone with me
And it makes it much easier, sitting here alone
Waiting for you to come home

So, Darling, I hope that where ever you are
You know that we're praying and you feel our love
The children remind me how strong you are
And that God's looking down from above
