|
| [00:27.50] |
Two days past eighteen |
| [00:29.23] |
|
| [00:29.74] |
He was waiting for the bus in his army green |
| [00:33.01] |
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there |
| [00:36.39] |
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair |
| [00:39.74] |
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile |
| [00:42.80] |
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while |
| [00:46.04] |
And talking to me |
| [00:47.96] |
I'm feeling a little low |
| [00:50.34] |
|
| [00:52.52] |
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go |
| [00:56.50] |
|
| [01:02.40] |
So they went down and they sat on the pier |
| [01:05.30] |
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care |
| [01:08.72] |
I got no one to send a letter to |
| [01:12.87] |
|
| [01:15.34] |
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you |
| [01:21.83] |
|
| [01:22.89] |
I cried |
| [01:25.42] |
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [01:28.63] |
|
| [01:29.16] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [01:31.94] |
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier |
| [01:34.74] |
|
| [01:35.59] |
Our love will never end |
| [01:38.30] |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| [01:41.35] |
|
| [01:42.03] |
Never more to be alone when the letter said |
| [01:45.86] |
|
| [01:46.43] |
A soldier's coming home |
| [01:49.60] |
|
| [01:54.14] |
So the letters came from an army camp |
| [01:57.22] |
In California then Vietnam |
| [01:59.74] |
|
| [02:00.32] |
And he told her of his heart |
| [02:02.47] |
It might be love |
| [02:03.68] |
And all of the things he was so scared of |
| [02:07.27] |
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here |
| [02:10.50] |
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier |
| [02:13.40] |
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile |
| [02:17.75] |
|
| [02:19.82] |
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while |
| [02:25.02] |
|
| [02:27.33] |
I cried |
| [02:29.77] |
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [02:32.99] |
|
| [02:33.53] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [02:36.35] |
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier |
| [02:38.95] |
|
| [02:39.78] |
Our love will never end |
| [02:42.57] |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| [02:45.66] |
|
| [02:46.23] |
Never more to be alone when the letter said |
| [02:50.34] |
A soldier's coming home |
| [02:53.21] |
|
| [03:33.29] |
One Friday night at a football game |
| [03:36.03] |
|
| [03:36.79] |
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang |
| [03:39.55] |
A man said folks would you bow your heads |
| [03:42.93] |
For a list of local Vietnam dead |
| [03:46.29] |
|
| [03:49.85] |
Crying all alone under the stands |
| [03:52.68] |
Was a piccolo player in the marching band |
| [03:55.96] |
And one name read but nobody really cared |
| [04:00.14] |
|
| [04:02.19] |
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair |
| [04:07.49] |
|
| [04:09.66] |
I cried |
| [04:12.16] |
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [04:15.72] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [04:18.62] |
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier |
| [04:21.27] |
|
| [04:22.07] |
Our love will never end |
| [04:24.88] |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| [04:28.00] |
|
| [04:28.54] |
Never more to be alone when the letter said |
| [04:32.58] |
A soldier's coming |
| [04:33.96] |
|
| [04:34.88] |
I cried |
| [04:37.64] |
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [04:41.30] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [04:44.07] |
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier |
| [04:46.83] |
|
| [04:47.62] |
Our love will never end |
| [04:50.38] |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| [04:54.01] |
Never more to be alone when the letter said |
| [04:58.37] |
A soldier's coming home |
