Lyrics
Captain of My Heart
We packed your bags in silence, my captain of the skies
You couldn?t find the words to say as you stared into my eyes
Our little one munched on some fish sticks and some fries
As you prepared to go
So far away
I served the favorite dinner of the captain of my heart,
It didn?t ease the pain of knowing that we would soon part
Our little one shot you with a Styrofoam dart
As you prepared to go
So far away
CHORUS
And I?ll be waiting for you every single day
Every single night I will get down and pray
That you?ll come back to me from so far away
So far away from home
I?ll be missing you every single night
Every single day as you wake up to fight
I miss you so much, but I know that it?s right, that you?re
So far away from home
On the ride to naval base, oh captain of my mind
We tried to say the words but the words we couldn?t find
Our little one asked us to hit the rewind
As you prepared to go
Far far away from me
REPEAT CHORUS
As we said goodbye, oh captain of my soul
The fear in our hearts, had begun to take its toll
But our little one and I, want you to know, that you?re?
Never far from home
REPEAT CHORUS
We packed our bags in silence, my captain of the skies
