Good morning my little sleeping child
It is time to open your beautiful eyes
This is the day we've been waiting for
And it will be a delightful surprise
Wake so that I can feed and dress you
This is not the time for you to sleep
For there is so much that we must do
As we have an important date to keep
I can't wait to see the huge smile
And the look upon his handsome face
Oh little one I'm just very excited
My heart is pounding at a fast pace
You don't remember him at all I know
As the day you were born he was gone
For he was protecting this great land
And Iraq is so very far from our home
The good Lord kept him safe always
And today he is finally coming home
So my sweet baby this is good news
As we will never again be here alone
One day he will tell you of the life
And the many things across the sea
But for now we will speak of feelings
Such as a love he has for you and me
On a big deck he is anxiously waiting
Watching for us to come around a bend
Standing on the ship anchored there
With an American flag flying in a wind
Oh baby he'll search the crowd for us
As they'll be many there on this day
But with a wave and great big smile
He will tell us 'daddy's home to stay'
So wake up my little bitty sleepy one
This day is for happiness and no tears
For soon you'll get to meet your daddy
And he will quiet all our many fears
