Lyric discussion by lfaunt 

I use to listen to this song when my husband was deployed. Just listen to the song or read the lyrics and you'll understand why I feel like this song was meant for a deployment. It's absolutely beautiful!

"Do you hear me, I'm talking to you Across the water across the deep blue ocean Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying"

Soldiers can't always call home when they are deployed. So every call you get from your loved one is absolutely amazing! I use to get messages from my husband that would make my day. I know he tried his hardest to let me know he was okay every day. But it's not possible for that to happen every day.

"Boy I hear you in my dreams I feel your whisper across the sea I keep you with me in my heart You make it easier when life gets hard."

That is just beautiful. I use to wear a necklace when my husband was deployed. It was a set of praying hands with the Serenity prayer on the back and his unit crest on it. It was always near to my heart.

"I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again."

My husband is my best friend and I'm so in love with him. And I'm LUCKY for the things that I have gone through in my past (lucky to have been where I have been) because it lead me to him. And we were SO lucky and blessed to have him come home alive and well.

"They don't know how long it takes Waiting for a love like this Every time we say goodbye I wish we had one more kiss I'll wait for you I promise you, I will."

This has got to be my favorite part in the song. Deployments drag on for both the soldier and the spouse and it's hard on both. And of course, there are multiple deployments so it's special to have someone at home in the states waiting for you and someone who cares about how you are and what you are doing for our country. Someone who will never take you for granted and cherishes each and every minute that they've ever spent with you. You remember the last kiss and hold it dear to your heart. The deployments may be long (up to a year depending on which branch and what your job entails) but the soldier you are waiting for is SO worth the wait. It's the best feeling in to world to see them after so long.

"And so I'm sailing through the sea To an island where we'll meet You'll hear the music fill the air I'll put a flower in your hair Though the breezes through the trees Move so pretty you're all I see As the world keeps spinning round You hold me right here right now."

For some reason I picture this part as a dream. Like I'll see you in my dreams. Nothing else matters in this moment but each other.

You are a good person for staying true to your relationship with your husband during his deployment. I know a lot of guys who had issues with their significant others as a result of a deployment. Guys say it takes a special woman to love a soldier and that is very true. Kudos to you and thanks to your husband for his service.
