Letters from war

Capo on the 1st fret She Walked to the mailbox on that bright Summer's day Found a letter from her son in a war far away. He spoke of the weather and good friends that he'd made Said "I've been thinking about dad and the life that he had that's why I'm here today." And then at the end he said, "You are what I'm fighting for" It was the first of the letters from war. Chorus: And she started writing "You are good and your brave What a father that you'll be someday, Make it home make it safe," She wrote every night as she prayed. Then late in December a day she'll not forget oh, her tears stained the paper with every word that she read It said "I was up on a hill I was out there alone When the shots all rang out and bombs were exploding That's when I saw him, he came back for me And though he was captured a man set me free And that man was your son he asked me to write to you I told him I would, oh, I swore," It was the last of the letters from war. And she prayed he was living Kept on believing and wrote every night just to say. Chorus: "You are good and your brave What a father that you'll be someday, Make it home make it safe," and so she kept writing each day. Then two years later, Autumn leaves all around A car pulls in the drive way, and she fell to the ground And out steps a Captain where her boy used to stand He said "Mom I'm following orders from all of your letters And I've come home again." He ran in to hold her dropped all his bags on the floor Holding all of her letters from war Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home
