Down by the Lake by James O'Brien

A lovely place, down by the lake
Is where I think of you.
The quiet beauty fills my heart,
Refreshing love that's true.

The scent of flowers gathered near
Bring smiles to aching heart;
For with them you feel close to me
And not so far apart.

Its here the spirit comes to me
To calm my deep concern.
It strengthens me and gives me faith
That soon you will return.

For it was here we gave our hearts
And here our love confessed.
And surely as the sun will rise
Our love will pass this test.

It won't be long until you're home
The battles will be done.
You will have fought for country's cause.
Our liberty is won.

I hope you know how proud I am
Of all the things you do,
And know as I sit by our lake,
I'm still in love with you.
