WHERE YOU ARE TONIGHT

EVEN THOUGH YOUR NAME’S ALWAYS ON MY LIPS
BUT THE SMELL OF YOUR SHIRT
THE TASTE OF YOUR KISS
FADES IN TIME
CAN’T HELP WOND’RIN’ IF YOU’RE COMING HOME
AND THE ANGER ONLY FEEDS
THE GREAT UNKNOWN
RAGING THROUGH MY MIND
HOLDING YOU IS SO FAR AWAY
IF I CAN JUST GET THROUGH THIS DAY

CHORUS:

YES I KNOW I’VE GOTTA BE STRONG
FIND THE STRENGTH TO JUST HOLD ON
BUT SOMETIMES MY FEAR GETS IN THE WAY
I’M TRYING HARD TO KEEP THE FAITH
BABY ARE YOU SAFE
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW GOD’S BY YOUR SIDE THROUGH THE FIGHT
I’M SCARED AND I’M ALL ALONE
BABY UNTIL YOU COME BACK HOME
ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY
AND WONDER WHERE YOU ARE TONIGHT

I TRY TO STAY BUSY TO KEEP FROM BEING SAD
I CAN’T WATCH THE NEWS CAUSE IT’S ALWAYS BAD
AND TIME DRAGS ON
IT’S NINE O’CLOCK AND THE KIDS ARE FED
YOU’RE WAKING UP AND I’M GOING TO BED
LYING HERE ALL ALONE
HOLDING YOU IS SO FAR AWAY
BUT I JUST MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER DAY

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
I SAY A PRAYER FOR PEACE
FOR EVERY SOLDIER, WIFE, MOTHER, DAUGHTER, FATHER, SON
GIVE ME STRENGTH, GIVE ME STRENGTH, GOD HELP ME HOLD ON

CHORUS:
