While You’re Away | Official Lyrics Video ❤️| Sam Wilcox - Songs & Stories

“While You’re Away” is one of the most personal songs I’ve written. I wrote this for my wife, Crystal, as she prepares to leave for Washington to work as a travel nurse while I finish my final year of college. We’ve done the long-distance travel-nursing journey before, so we know what’s ahead—but that doesn’t make saying goodbye any easier. I’m going to miss her more than I can put into words. Crystal has supported me while I’ve worked toward finishing school, and I could never fully express how grateful I am for everything she has done for our family. She is my wife, my best friend, my hero, and my home. Sometimes I struggle with feeling like I’m a burden while she carries so much for us. She reminds me that I’m not. And when I graduate, begin my career, and it’s her turn to pursue her RN, I want to be there supporting her dream just as she has supported mine. This song is my way of saying: Thank you. I’m proud of you. I’m going to miss you like hell. And when your time comes, let me carry us awhile. For Crystal. ❤️ For Vin. ❤️ For our family. Washington can borrow you—but it can never take away my wife, my hero, my best friend, my home. 🎵 “While You’re Away” – Sam Wilcox Lyrics/story by Sam Wilcox.
