William Bell Lonely Soldier Lyrics

[Intro: Spoken Word]
It's been so long since I've heard from my man
But a letter came today
And it touched the bottom of my soul
And it must have been in some quiet moment
On a terrible battlefield
When he had these words to say:

[Verse 1]
It's been so long since I've been home
And I just thought that I would write
Oh, I hope these words will come to you
On some dark and lonely night
[Chorus]
Don't you know, my love is real?
(Yes, I know his love his real)
Oh, don't you see just how I feel (How he feels)
Oh, I'm alone, just a lonely soldier boy
Oh, people beg to get back to home

[Verse 2]
I know it's hard (So hard)
While we're apart (We're apart)
So, darling, just have a little faith
Oh, you won't regret my love for you If you would only, only wait

[Chorus]
Don't you know, my love is real?
(Yes, I know his love his real)
Oh, don't you see just how I feel (How he feels)
Oh, I'm alone, just a lonely soldier boy

[Bridge: Spoken Word]
And sometimes, as I sit here
You know, my heart is frozen with fear
And I think about the good times we had
And it's in times like this, that missing you hurts so bad
[Chorus]
I'm a lonely soldier boy (Lonely, lonely, lonely)
Oh, I'm alone, just a lonely soldier boy
Yeah, I'm coming home (He's coming home)
Oh, wait for me (He's coming home)
I'm coming home, yeah (He's coming home)
I'm coming on home, and I know
And I know that I love you
This soldier boy loves you, baby
