I got to the airport just in time for your flight
And I saw a husband run off the plane to his wife
He was full of emotion, didn't care who could see
Made me stop and wonder when's the last time you looked at me

Like you were a soldier comin' home
Like you counted the nights you were gone
Like each moment together's more precious than ever

Because you're safe inside of my arms
Like you can't get enough of me when you make love to me
Like you were a soldier comin' home

That's when it hit me just the way she was looking at him
Caught up in the moment she forgot all the lonely she's been
You're gone so much now, it's become no big deal
Made me stop and wonder when's the last time I made you feel

Like you were a soldier comin' home
Like I counted the nights you were gone
Like each moment together's more precious than ever

Because you're safe inside my arms
Like I can't get enough of you when I make love to you
Like you were a soldier comin' home

That's why I'm holding you this way
We can't take for granted

Baby, let's live everyday like you were a soldier comin' home
Like you can't wait to get me alone
Like each moment together's more precious than ever

When you're safe inside my arms
Like I can't get enough of you when I make love to you
Like you were a soldier comin' home

I'm gonna love you like you were a soldier comin' home
