she sits on the couch in the liveingroom

as she waits for her fathers return

all the other kids were outside playing

she stares into space while they're all haveing fun

mommy ran away a long time ago

now daddys all she has

but daddys in the army hes been gone for 3 years

so shes all alone, thats so sad

every night before bed she tucks herself in

she reads herself a story to sleep

she tries her hardest and stays so strong

she does her best not to weep

theres a man at the door, come to take her away

to a family where she will be loved

where every night they'll tuck her in

and give her lots of kisses and hugs

now the years have passed she's much older now

and she has 2 kids of her own

she sits onthe couch in the liveingroom

as she waits for her husbands return
