Honey I wont be alive
When you read this letter
I got caught in an ambush
I know I wont get better.
I’m in a hospital bed
Far from Baghdad's streets
But I don’t know how much
Is left beneath the sheets.
chorus:
Darkness is falling on me
And I wont pull through
Honey I want you to know
I died loving you.
I’m not in any pain
The morphine works real well
Doctors don't hold out hope
As far as I can tell.
Give my love to the kids
Try to be strong and brave
Tell them daddy said
To be good and to behave.
Repeat Chorus
bridge:
I’m tired and weak now
I can barely hold this pen
But I pray that one day
I will see you again,
I can feel your arms around me
I can taste your lips on mine
But I Have to say goodbye my love
How I wish we had more time.
Repeat Chorus
