Sweet Dear, it's time to go
Has this moment come too soon
They race to the hospital
And they lead her to a room
But they've been waiting far too long
Precious baby's not coming home
She places a yellow ribbon on a tree
As a dark car pulls up the road
He says your soldier's not coming home
Oh the pain of losing is a heavy load
And so hard to understand
We're holding on to every bit of faith and hope
We'll see them again when we're finally hope
Precious baby is safe at home
You stand by a stone that reads
