Under stars I can't see clear
Dusty ground I hold you near
Fragile paper in my hand
My heart's aching can't withstand
Gunshots echo through the night
Your face keeps me in the fight
I write words simple and true
All my dreams are filled with you
Dear love from afar
You're my shining star
In this endless war
You're all I'm fighting for
Miles away but I feel you
Through the pain we'll make it through
Hold my letter close tonight
I'll be home by morning light
Uniform heavy on my chest
But it's your love that's the best
Bullets fly and time stands still
Yet for you I carry on and will
Dear love from afar
You're my shining star
In this endless war
You're all I'm fighting for
