[00:07.23]Two days past eighteen
[00:09.76]He was waiting for the bus in his army greens
[00:12.57]Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
[00:15.66]Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
[00:19.05]He's a little shy so she gave him a smile
[00:21.89]So he said would you mind sitting down for a while
[00:24.92]And talking to me
[00:26.52]I'm feeling a little low
[00:30.94]She said I'm off in an hour
[00:32.79]And I know where we can go
[00:40.37]So they went down and they sat on the pier
[00:43.40]He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
[00:46.55]I got no one to send a letter to
[00:49.84]Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
[00:59.70]I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[01:05.80]Too young for him they told her
[01:08.35]Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
[01:12.08]My love will never end
[01:14.83]Waiting for the soldier to come back again
[01:18.21]Never more to be alone when the letter says
[01:22.24]My soldiers coming home
[01:30.02]The letters came from an army camp
[01:33.00]In California and Viet Nam
[01:35.99]He told her of his heart It might be love
[01:39.28]And all of the things he was so scared of
[01:42.46]He said when it's getting kinda tough over here
[01:45.40]I think of that day sitting down at the pier
[01:48.39]And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
[01:54.62]Don't worry but
[01:55.44]I won't be able to write for awhile
[02:01.67]I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[02:07.55]Too young for him they told her
[02:10.08]Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
[02:13.06]My love will never end
[02:15.90]Waiting for the soldier to come back again
[02:20.04]Never more to be alone when the letter says
[02:23.82]My soldiers coming home
[03:05.07]One Friday night at a football game
[03:07.90]The lords prayer said and the anthem sang
[03:10.80]The man said
[03:11.80]Folks would you bow your head
[03:14.04]For the list of local Viet Name dead
[03:20.46]Crying all alone under the stands
[03:22.80]Was the picolo player in the marching band
[03:26.09]And one name read nobody really cared
[03:32.57]But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
[03:38.95]I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[03:45.42]Too young for him they told her
[03:48.69]Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
[03:51.53]My love will never end
[03:54.02]Waiting for the soldier to come back again
[03:57.56]Never more to be alone when the letter says
[04:01.59]My soldiers coming
[04:03.38]I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[04:09.66]Too young for him they told her
[04:12.70]Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
[04:15.44]My love will never end
[04:18.38]Waiting for the soldier to come back again
[04:20.97]Never more to be alone when the letter says
[04:25.95]My soldiers coming home
