Forever And A Day was written & performed by Bekkii O'Connor on Memorial Day 2010 in Nashville, Tennessee; following the loss of a friend earlier that year in Afghanistan. I just want all of them home...

Forever And A Day, is a tribute to the women (and children) who love, support and ultimately pay the highest price in war.

Lyrics
Courage is beautiful they say
I don't feel brave, not today
When your bag sits by the window
And your boots wait for you at the door

Goodbye is now or never
But I just wanna stay
Here in your arms forever
And a day
God it hurts, everytime he goes away

All I wanna do is sleep
Thats the only time 
Your here with me
I'll be home soon you'll see
That was the only promise
You could not keep

Goodbye was now or never
But I could have stayed
There in your arms forever
And a day
God it hurts, more than I, I can take

Now there's 21 guns
Sounding in my ears
My bloods running cold
I'm choking on my tears
And my darkest fears

And we're standing on the grass
Their handing me the flag
Telling me what a good man I had
Well hell I knew that

Babe, I'm trying to be strong
Coz I know thats what you'd want
But I'm dying inside
This must be what hell feels like
When your not by my side

Courage is beautiful they say...
I don't feel brave, not today
