[00:05.71]Just a picture on a table
[00:11.10]Just some letters Mama saved
[00:16.46]And a costume broach from England
[00:21.81]On the back it has engraved:
[00:27.47]To Eileen, I love you
[00:32.57]London, nineteen forty-three.
[00:38.27]And she never heard from him again
[00:43.68]And he never heard of me
[00:48.76]And the war still ain't over for Mama
[00:54.24]Every night in her dreams she still sees
[00:59.95]The young face of someone who left her
[01:05.09]Silver medals and sweet memories
[01:16.32]In Mama's bedroom closet
[01:21.47]To this day on her top shelf
[01:26.89]There's a flag folded three-cornered
[01:32.98]Layin' all by itself
[01:37.84]And the Sergeant would surely be honored
[01:43.25]To know how pretty she still is
[01:48.67]And that after all these lonely years
[01:54.77]His Eileen's still his
[01:59.52]And the war still ain't over for Mama
[02:05.06]Every night in her dreams she still sees
[02:10.81]The young face of someone who left her
[02:15.96]Silver medals and sweet memories
[02:21.39]Silver medals and sweet memories
[02:28.93]
