Twilight, and I'm alone On a battlefield so far from my home My wife is running through the fields of my mind My only prayer is to see her again sometime
It's been a year now since I've seen your face A beautiful thing that all my dreams could never replace How I long to feel your touch and hear your voice And God knows how I want to hold my little boy
Chorus
But I am too proud, to be forgotten I've given too much, to be forsaken now Just keep that American flag in our yard flying Cause I'm a patriot and, I don't mind dying
I don't know what God has in store for me But if I don't return, I only ask one thing Don't let my memory fade too far away And tell my son how much I love him every day
It's getting closer now; I can hear the sounds of home Seems like forever here, the time has passed so slow Too many men came here who will never leave A sad reminder of the cost to be free
Final Chorus
And they were too proud, to be forgotten They gave too much to be forsaken now So I'll keep that American flag in our yard flying For all the patriots who went down fighting
