Down by the Campfire Light

A soldier off at war writing a letter to his lover knowing he will never see her again

Down by the Campfire Light


Baby I’m missin’ you
Baby I hope you’ll write
All I wanna do is whisper in your ear
Baby its gonna be alright

I cant do it much longer
It has been too many days, and too many nights
I’m just sitting here baby
Down by the campfire light

All I’m thinking bout is you
And the way your hair blows in the wind
The way you never mistreated me
The way you always win
Now I’m so far away baby
Your outa’ sight
I’m just sitting here baby
Down by the campfire light

Is it lonely way back there
Are you missin’ me while I’m not there
Just don’t forget I’m over here
Fighting the good fight
I’m just sitting here baby
Down by the campfire light

How’s junior is he doin’ alright
Is he makin’ me proud
He must be three now
I miss him dear
If I don’t make it babe
Make sure he lives life right
I’m just sitting here baby
Down by the campfire light

As I’m writing this
By the campfire light
All I wanna do is whisper in your ear
Baby its gonna be alright…
I’m just sitting here baby
Down by the campfire light
