Half my heart has left me now
Far away it's beating now
Across the ocean to a desert land
Fighting in a war I don't understand
The days are short, the nights are long
Give us strength as we go along
This winding road we are headed on
Twist and turns there will be
Nothing is to tough for you and me
Take my heart and hold it tight
Let it shield you day and night
Hold on to my heart with all your might
Never let it go, put up a fight
Times are hard without you near
Living without you is my only fear
For my heart I must be strong
Hurry home to where you belong
I will be waiting for you, no matter how long
