I was looking through posts on a forum I'm on and someone asked about videos of songs that show homecoming video in them. Well someone mentioned the Lonestar song I'm Already There. Apparently they dedicated the song to the troops and did a video and OMG I cried! I have never really thought of the song in the deployment context but it fits so perfectly. The part where he is talking to his kid and says "I'm your imaginary friend" got to me because my son was sitting on the couch playing with his "daddy" the other day and I guess he has made him his imaginary friend. You can watch the video here
I'M ALREADY THERE
Lonestar
He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said daddy when you coming home
He said the first thing that came to his mind
I’m already there
Take a look around
I’m the sunshine in your hair
I’m the shadow on the ground
I’m the whisper in the wind
I’m your imaginary friend
And I know I’m in your prayers
Oh I’m already there
She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don’t worry about the kids they’ll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I’ll be in your dreams tonight
And I’ll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
I’m already there
Don’t make a sound
I’m the beat in your heart
I’m the moonlight shining down
I’m the whisper in the wind
And I’ll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I’m already there
We may be a thousand miles apart
But I’ll be with you wherever you are
I’m already there
Take a look around
I’m the sunshine in your hair
I’m the shadow on the ground
I’m the whisper in the wind
And I’ll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I’m already there
Oh I’m already
There
