Lyrics
She sits alone in the kitchen Baby’s crying in his crib His daddy’s in the war so far away All day long she’s waiting With the TV always on Praying she won’t hear his name today She writes another letter But the story’s much the same Without him life just slowly falls apart He reads her words twice over In his barracks late one night Her desperate words tearing at his heart It’s high time they bring my soldier home I miss you so and your son has really grown The promise of our future keeps the loneliness away It’s high time they bring my soldier home In the night she hears the thunder Of a storm that’s rolling in She lies in bed waiting for the rain She dreams that she is with him As the bombs begin to fall And all alone she cries out in her pain Oh can’t you see Bring him home to me To the land of the free He’s been far away Bring him home today To the home of the brave She’s waiting at the airport Their baby in her arms As his plane lands, She knows her dream’s come true She sees him in the distance With that old familiar smile As he salutes the red, white and blue She said, it’s high time they bring my soldier home I missed you so and your son has really grown The promise of our future kept the loneliness away It’s high time they bring my soldier home It’s high time they bring my soldier home
