1.
Duty takes you far away
I think about you every day
Wishing you'll come home to stay
Safe to me
2.
I don't pretend to understand
Why you sleep in a foreign land
But you go where they command
Away from me
[b]Chorus:[/b]
Oh, I have captured every smile
They keep you close however far
You may be away from me
My Eastern Star
I hear your voice, I hear you say
That it's snowing where you are
As long as you are safe and sound
Then Gloria
3.
During every silent night
Your memory is held so tight
As if to keep you safe 'till light
Stay with me
4.
Then throughout each passing day
With every thought that goes astray
I bring you back and then I pray
You're still with me
[b]Chorus:[/b]
Oh, I have captured every smile
They keep you close however far
You may be away from me
My Eastern Star
I hear your voice, I hear you say
That it's snowing where you are
As long as you are safe and sound
Then Gloria
Bridge:
There's no reason, there's no rhyme
Why you won't stay safe and that in time
Those freedom bells will loudly chime, Gloria
But until then I will stand, behind the flag of everyman
That calls for peace throughout our lands, Gloria
[b]Chorus:[/b]
Oh, I have captured every smile
They keep you close however far
You may be away from me
My Eastern Star
I hear your voice, I hear you say
That it's snowing where you are
As long as you are safe and sound
Then Gloria
