The stakes were high that day
But when country called, he couldn't just walk away
He sent a letter every day
And just like all rage
In only a mother's way
She knew what he meant to say
Wait for me to come back home
When everyone has given up hope
And they stop drinkin' to my name
Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
And I'll return to you
Twenty four is young
She spent every day afraid for her son
She heard his voice in her head saying
If I come back, it'll be 'cause you held on
No, don't give me up for gone
Wait for me to come back home
When everyone has given up hope
And they stop drinkin' to my name
Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
And I'll return to you
For years and years, the only face she saw was
The face of an angel
The face of an angel
The face of an angel sayin', I'll return
So, wait for me to come back home
When everyone has given up hope
And they stop drinkin' to my name
Wait for me
(The face of an angel)
Wait for me
(The face of an angel)
Wait for me
(The face of an angel)
Wait for me
(The face of an angel)
Wait for me
(The face of an angel)
Wait for me
(The face of an angel)
Wait for me
(The face of an angel)
Wait for me
(The face of an angel)
