New Christmas Song – Deployed Again for Christmas – Christmas Tribute to our Troops!

Dear Mom I hope this letter finds you well.

And yes I know it’s been a long long time.

I was hoping I would make it home by Christmas

It looks like it won’t be ‘till summertime.

At this time of year we long for family

But sometimes it’s just not meant to be

Mamma don’t you worry I’ll be home again soon

Just you wait and see.

(Chorus)

I’ll be Deployed again this year for Christmas

Trying hard to be all I can be.

I’m proud to be fighting for my Country

But my heart’s back home with you in Tennessee.

Dad do you remember that old train set?

The one we used to have when I was young.

The echoes of the whistle and the engine

Drowning out the the Christmas Songs we sung.

The blue lights on the tree would mix and mingle

With the candles in the windows shining bright

And you would read the story of the Birth of Jesus Christ

on Christmas Night.

(Chorus)

I’ll be Deployed again this year for Christmas

Trying hard to be all I can be.

I’m proud to be fighting for my Country

But my heart’s back home with you in Tennessee.

I lace my boots up early Christmas morning

My misty eyes make it hard to see

I know back home you will soon be waking

To presents all around the Christmas Tree.

Sometimes I wonder why we’re fighting,

Then I see a child and it all becomes so clear

The things we take for granted are the treasures that they

Long for over here.

(Chorus)

I’ll be Deployed again this year for Christmas

Trying hard to be all I can be.

I’m proud to be fighting for my Country

But my heart’s back home with you in Tennessee.
