Santa have you seen my soldier,
the one who wears my heart,
we're so far apart.
the one who wears my heart,
we're so far apart.
Santa have you seen my soldier,
braving through the lonely nights
just getting by, living prayer to prayer.
It's so hard to be apart this time of year,
the ones you love should be near.
Material things lose all their value,
cause all I want is him.
Santa have you seen my soldier,
let him know that I miss him and I love him so, love him so.
Santa bring my soldier home,
I need him here in my arms,
cause love's worth fighting for.
Santa bring him home.
Santa bring him home.
Life's not the same without my soldier,
every time we laughed the comfort that it had.
Oh, he's the one that's been there for me all along,
he taught me to be strong enough when times are tough,
and keep the faith when I can't hold on.
It's so hard to be apart this time of year,
the ones you love should be near.
Material things lose all their value,
cause all I want is him.
Santa have you seen my soldier,
let him know that I miss him and I love him so, love him so.
Santa bring my soldier home,
I need him here in my arms,
cause love's worth fighting for.
Santa bring him home.
The wind blows so cold, without your hand to hold.
It's haunting my mind, like the day we said goodbye
There's a boy overseas
Who's lonely just like me
Waiting for the day
my hero comes home to me.
Send my love, send my love, send my love, love,
Send my love, send my love, send my love, love,
Send my, send my love love
Santa have you seen my soldier,
let him know that I miss him and I love him so, love him so.
(Send my love, send my love, send my love, love, )
Santa bring my soldier home,
I need him here in my arms, cause love's worth fighting for.
Santa bring him home.
(Love, love, send my love.....)
So, I'm not going to lie. I feel like a year ago I would have really had an issue with this song. I would have thought that it sounded whiny. I would have probably told the people in the song to suck it up and move on because there is nothing you can do about it.
This time of year, there is so much recognition to the troops that are sent over seas that can't make it home. In reality, there really is nothing you can do about it, but now I think I see another side. Even if this song sounds like many women complaining about how they can't get their man back, I feel like they have the right to complain. Regardless of where you stand on the issue of war, the fact is that it exists. The fact is that there are people working really hard for our country and risking their lives for us. I'm not the biggest fan of war, but I do think that even if you don't support it, you should support the troops and their families because it has to be extremely hard for them to not see each other--especially the children.
I know it's going to be hard when you leave,
but I am here to support you one hundred percent.
As much as I am going to hate having to deal with this,
I want you to know that I love you and I am here for you always.
I want you to be happy with the decisions you are making.
I already know I am going to miss you like crazy.
You're one of my very best friends.
