I miss you, my son, when you are so far away in the overseas land.
I miss you, my son, when you are so far away in the overseas land.
Even though you are grown up now I still miss you being around.
Even though you are grown up now I still miss you being around.
You are grown up, though you are so far away in the overseas land.
Now my son, I still miss you being around, even when I miss you.

I am very proud of you, my son, as you defend us here at home.
I am very proud of you, my son, as you defend us here at home.
While your fighting to keep us safe, I am your mother and worry so.
While your fighting to keep us safe, I am your mother and worry so.
As your mother I worry while your fighting to keep us safe,
And you defend us here at home, my son, I am so very proud of you

So as you go to sleep tonight, remember my words with love,
So as you go to sleep tonight, remember my words with love,
“I love you and miss you with all my heart and may it keep you safe.”
“I love you and miss you with all my heart and may it keep you safe.”
So with all my heart go to sleep tonight and you remember my words
As it may keep you safe, with love, “I love you and miss you.”

With all my heart I miss you, my son and I am very proud of you,
Even though you are grown up now you are so far away in the overseas land,
When you’re fighting to keep us safe as you defend us here at home.
While worry so, I am your mother, my son, as I still miss you being around,
Remember my words with love as you go to sleep tonight,
And may it keep you safe, “I miss you and love you.”
