There are all kinds of people I\'ll meet in my life
Most I\'ll forget, some I\'ll remember, good and bad
Then, there\'s you
Who\'s imprinted on my very existence
No matter where I go, or what I do, you\'re there
In my mind, in my thoughts...in my heart
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
That you don\'t know what you\'ve got till it\'s gone
Well, my heart grows fonder of you every day whether there\'s distance or not
And I know what I\'ve got and I don\'t want it gone
I know you have to be away now
And that we\'ve done this before and will again
I know it\'s hard on both of us and I\'m so proud of the man you are
And the strength you have to do what needs to be done for this country and our family
I wish I knew the right words to convey the way I feel
But I\'m stuck with the same ones that are used all the time
Because even though they\'re overused, I can\'t say them enough
I miss you so very much and... I love you.
