Daddy Was a Soldier

(Chorus)
Daddy was a soldier
A man built for war
I can’t recall a time
I’ve ever seen my daddy cry

He was strong and he was tough
but I never doubted his love

And I’m proud to claim
This one soldier’s name
I’m proud to be the daughter of a soldier

(Verse 1)
Daddy left in ’02
They put us on the news
A crying wife with two little girls
I don’t recall
when we said goodbye
I just remember Mommy’s tears
as she said goodbye to that soldier

(Verse 2)
Daddy came and Daddy went
This life was all I knew
Devoted wife and two growing girls
Yet, I still recall
each time I’d sit and cry
wond’ring what it would have been like
to never say goodbye to that soldier
