"Love Me When I'm Gone"
| Below are the lyrics to the song that was attached to the slide show Sniper sent to me. It sums up his feelings. Read them. The tears stream down my face as I understand the sacrifices him and everyone of our Military men and women make. I am internally grateful to each and everyone of them. 3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone There's another world inside of me That you may never see there're secrets in this life That I can't hide Somewhere in this darkness There's a light that I can't find Maybe it's too far away... Or maybe I'm just blind... Maybe I'm just blind... [Chorus] So hold me when I'm here Right me when I'm wrong Hold me when I'm scared And love me when I'm gone Everything I am And everything in me Wants to be the one You wanted me to be I'll never let you down Even if I could I'd give up everything If only for your good So hold me when I'm here Right me when I'm wrong You can hold me when I'm scared You won't always be there So love me when I'm gone Love me when I'm gone... When your education x-ray Can not see under my skin I won't tell you a damn thing That I could not tell my friends Roaming through this darkness I'm alive but I'm alone Part of me is fighting this But part of me is gone [Chorus] Maybe I'm just blind... [Chorus] Love me when I'm gone... Love me when I'm gone When I'm Gone When I'm Gone When I'm Gone dyzgoneby Sniper, I love you with all my heart |

post a commentWhat happened to studying? Remove yourself from the computer and study study study. Do you really want to hear him get snappy again? The lyrics are great though we downloaded them to a cd tonight for the boys.
oh those dreaded goodbye hugs...such a relief to know that I never have to do that again! The next time I see my Sgt Wally, it'll feel so great knowing that I won't have to count the days til I'm saying goodbye again. 18 months of hell is almost over for me.
About how much longer does your Sniper have left?
Heather.....no more snappy Sniper. That is a promise, at least not because of me. I study sooo much this weekend. I received your msg, I will call you later today.
Wally's Wife....I am so happy this deployment is coming close to an end for the both of you.
Hopefully none of us will have to do the "see ya next year" ever again with Sniper. This should be his last combat tour. He still has 10 months left to go. We are crossing our fingers (but not holding my breath) he will be able to have a R&R some time the end of this summer.
I get it, dyz. I do. I love this song, but I have to admit I've never applied it to our military.
I know you'll love him while he's gone just as much, if not more, than you will when he's here.
((hugs))
melanie....thank you. I know his motive for the "Love me when I'm Gone" is more than just while he is away.
afsister...I too had never thought of the song being about the military, until I saw the video.
I have always loved him, but since he has been back in my life and now gone for awhile, my love has grown stronger than I ever thought was possible.
I have never associated it with the military either. It's a good song though.
