A husband kissed the cross that bears his Margie's name
Am C F C
And promises he'll see her once again

Last night their dream became a nightmare

And their nightmare has no end

F C
These days it's hard to sleep
Am C
When I lay my head down
F C
What if it was your loved one
G
Laying on the ground
F C
I'm left to think about
Am C
What if, what now?
F C
Dear God I wanna pray
F C
But tonight I have my doubts
F C G
When I think about those families now
