I don't want him to go

this is about the love of my life going off to war

We met a few months before you had to go to war.
I didn't want you to go then and I don't want you to go now
I can't stop you from leaving me
I cry when you don't see
Why is this so hard for me
I know that when your job is done
You will come home and be my man again
But you go off to a place that is so far away
All I can do is pray that one day you will get to come home and stay
This job you must do is very important
You must go out and protect our great nation
Never have I been more scared, to see someone go
I know now it is because I love you so much
Please don't go and stay with me
But saying this to you is pointless you see
'Cause you job is something you have to do
You have to leave me
Even if I want you to stay, you can't
I know if you could you would stay for me
But you can't
I wish that you could see how I feel
The heartbreak I am having is something very real
No words are going to set back your plans
You are off to war, but I know you will always be my man
All I ask is that you come home safe
So we can start our love like God has had planned
