She was waiting for her special someone
A soldier, who was coming home to meet their son
Who looked so much like his dad, she called him Rerun
He called her after he got rerouted to somewhere
The connecting flight was delayed for a lengthy repair
She took comfort in reciting the Lord's prayer
Oh, the disappointments of the here and now
But to her, he gave his word, he gave his vow
He would be home today, someway...somehow
She painfully watched each minute fade away
While waiting on a tardy flight from Santa Fe
And wondering if today was her someday
His unit deployed to Afghanistan in the spring
He told her, while he was there, he got her something
She hoped it was a simple engagement ring
