Just In Case

Lyrics

Just In Case (Joe Merrick) c 2005 I'm writing you this letter To help me remember My life is more than this bloody war I vowed to serve my country I vowed to be your husband And both I would die for I've been deployed overseas Forever it seems Staring at your picture gets me through But now more than ever I wish we were together So I could tell you I love you But they'll be sending me home soon So I can tell you face to face But hold on to this letter Just in case On a sunny day by the sea Got down on one knee You made my life with your reply I was the luckiest man alive Had the world's most beautiful bride To share a first dance on the fourth of July I can fight another day Through gunfire and grenades Because you're saving me with these memories Across miles of oceans Above bright white explosions Your love is the courage in me But they'll be sending me home soon So I can thank you face to face But hold on to this letter Just in case I heard this morning Our baby girl was born Give her a kiss for me Say that daddy loves you And I hope she understands I missed her birthday for her country But they'll be sending me home soon So I can meet her face to face But hold on to this letter Just in case
