Lucero - To My Dearest Wife lyrics

Waitin' on the sunrise
I've given up on sleep
My only thoughts are with you
All back home in Tennessee
They're dug in on the hilltop
We got cover in the trees between the two
An open field that looks like hell to me

And to my dearest wife I write
Kiss our baby girls tonight
Tomorrow's battle will not wait
But, I don't see no other way

I can see the old house not too long ago
Every night I slept by your side
Heaven just bein' home
Can hear 'em callin' Reveille
I can see the sun
It breaks my heart we're kept apart
Still fightin' to be done



To my dearest wife I write
Kiss our baby girls tonight
Tomorrow's battle will not wait
But, I don't see no other way

Mine eyes have seen the glory
The glory of the comin' of the Lord
And he is tramplin' out the vintage
The vintage where the grapes
Of wrath are stored

Now the sun is risen
You mean the world to me
My thoughts was turned to work
At hand far from Tennessee
They're dug in on the hilltop
We leave the cover of the trees
We'll march across that open field that
Looks like hell to me

To my dearest wife I write
Kiss our baby girls tonight
Tomorrow's battle will not wait
But, I don't see no other way

The bride of war wears blood and fire
Hand-in hand, death walks beside her
We'll cross the field, lay all to waste
I don't see no other way

To my dearest wife I write
Kiss our baby girls tonight
