My Marine
Baby please,Baby no,Baby please don't go.
I'm down here on my knee's,
Baby Please.
I know you've got a job to do,
I just wanna be close to you,
I sit and watch you pack your bags,
Baby please,Baby no,Baby please don't go.
It's Semper Fi,Do Or Die,
You are My Marine.
Behind those baby blues,
And those green fatigues,
I know its just you.
Baby Please,Baby no,Baby please don't go.
I cry and plead when you leave,
But it's what you love to do.
That is your Rifle and it is yours,
Go run off to play war,
Yeah that's what they trained you for.
Now I'm sitting here trying to tell our daughter,
Why daddy can't come home,
Your promise was broken,
Now I'm just hopin',
You're gonna be ok.
I love you, I love you,
I miss you,I miss you,
Baby please,Baby no,Baby please come home. _________________________________

But it's what you love to do.
That is your Rifle and it is yours,
Go run off to play war,
Yeah that's what they trained you for.
Now I'm sitting here trying to tell our daughter,
Where daddy had to be,to miss being with me.
Now I'm sitting here hopin',
Your promise isn't broken.
Now I'm sitting here wishing,
You were here with me.
Baby please,Baby no,Baby please come home.
I miss your touch,I miss your feel,
Now I wonder,Will these wounds ever heal?
I loath the day,a young man comes,
Knocking at the door,Cap in hand.
He'll stand and say,"I'm sorry Ma'am."
Then sadly walk away.
Baby please,Baby no,Baby now your coming home.
A hero's welcome,A family's loss,
Your being lingers on.
Now I weep,clad in black,
Wishing I could bring you back.
Baby please,Baby no,Baby now your home.
Those Twenty-One guns,
Fire straight into my heart.
I watch and cry,
And wonder why,
Why it had to be this way.
It seems like a dream,
Maybe a movie scene.
As those men fold the flag,
Then hand it to me.
I feel so useless,I feel so weak.
Baby please,Baby no,Baby now your home.
The bag pipes play,
I here your best friend say,
"Miss he done his best."
I know its true,But Its still so new.
I'll never get used to it yet.
Baby please,Baby Know,Baby I love you so.
A young man stands,
And through the strands,
Of hair on my tear soaked face,
I see him pin a brass button,
Onto that Cherry Wood box.
Baby thanks,Baby now I know,Baby you are my Marine.
