Lyrics

We were always hand in hand, frick and frack, toast and jam
She?d draw a picture in the sand and I would have to name it
We played together all through school, never wavered, stuck like glue
Nothing in the world was gonna change it

Other girls would look my way but I just looked at her
No matter how they tried
They couldn?t top her smile

Came the day to say our vows, set our sails and settle down
She waved goodbye, I took a bow, and we were on our way
And we worked real hard to make a life; I always took the overtime
Friends forever, man and wife ? loving every day

Other guys would start to roam, but I just went on home
I always knew what I would find
I was gonna see her smile

Who knew the world would get so crazy
And I would have to do my part
Back home they call us heroes
But I?m not feeling so brave
I?m doing my job
Serving my time
Counting the days
And missing her smile

I?m sweating in this battle zone, sleepless nights, guns and smoke
Praying my good luck holds and another morning comes
She?s waiting half way around the world, meals for one, a heart that yearns
She says she?ll keep the porch light burning until my job is done

Every day I do my best to keep myself alive
One thing gets me by
I think about her smile

We were always hand in hand?
I wanna be that way again
Naming pictures in the sand
And seeing her smile

I wanna see her smile at me
Gotta get back to her smile
