Going Away

It's been a long day
And our time together is done
I really want to stay
And I wish that we were one

But I was meant to go
I'm supposed to leave you here
Even though you're saying no
To my duty I must adhere

But as long as I love you
I can face any fear
There's nothing that I can't do
As long as you are near

And if you love me back
There's nothing they can do
I'll survive any attack
And I'll find my way to you

When this is all over
I'll know what to do
Although I'm a soldier
To you my heart is true

And then when I am home
We will always be together
And you'll never be alone
I will love you forever
