Red, White, and Blue |
LyricsThis country is so proundOf all who sacrifice and serve A place to raise our families A place that is safe and true The greatness of the red, white, and blue The greatness of the red, white, and blue Carla's husbands overseas serving in the Middle East Her words come from the heart Her heart sings out for you And she sings........ You are the love of my life The one who gives me life and I need your bright smiling face Smile for me today You are the love of my life The one who gives me life and I miss your kindness most of all Kindness and love Did I say how much I love you Did I say how much I care and the warmth of your tender touch How I missed your touch Now I'm just a country fool Trying to teach my way through But we all need to pray For the ones who protect The greatness of the red, white, and blue The greatness of the red, white, and blue Did I say how much I love you Did I say how much I care |
