Two days past eighteen |
| [00:03.530] |
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens |
| [00:06.400] |
Sat down in a booth at a café there |
| [00:09.999] |
Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair |
| [00:13.279] |
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile |
| [00:16.169] |
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while |
| [00:19.699] |
And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low |
| [00:25.199] |
|
| [00:25.849] |
She said I'm off in an hour |
| [00:28.539] |
And I know where we can go |
| [00:31.100] |
|
| [00:35.860] |
So they went down and they sat on the pier |
| [00:38.990] |
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care |
| [00:42.520] |
I've got no one to send a letter to |
| [00:48.30] |
|
| [00:49.100] |
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you? |
| [00:56.500] |
I cried |
| [00:59.570] |
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [01:03.279] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [01:06.230] |
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier |
| [01:09.670] |
Our love will never end |
| [01:12.500] |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| [01:16.600] |
Never more to be alone |
| [01:18.730] |
When the letter says a soldier's coming home |
| [01:25.380] |
|
| [01:28.850] |
So the letters came |
| [01:30.220] |
From an army camp |
| [01:32.330] |
In California then Vietnam |
| [01:35.220] |
And he told his heart |
| [01:37.150] |
It might be love |
| [01:38.659] |
And all of the things he was so scared of |
| [01:42.170] |
Said when it's gettin kinda tough over here |
| [01:45.370] |
|
| [01:45.300] |
I think about that day sittin' down at the pier |
| [01:48.510] |
And close my eyes and see your pretty smile |
| [01:54.370] |
|
| [01:55.180] |
Don't worry |
| [01:56.60] |
But I won't be able to write for a while |
| [02:02.490] |
I cried |
| [02:05.370] |
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [02:09.69] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [02:12.19] |
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier |
| [02:15.289] |
Our love will never end |
| [02:18.309] |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| [02:22.249] |
Never more to be alone |
| [02:24.579] |
When the letter says a soldier's coming home |
| [02:30.789] |
|
| [03:07.489] |
One Friday night at a football game |
| [03:10.859] |
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang |
| [03:14.109] |
A man said folks would you bow your heads |
| [03:17.469] |
For the list of local Vietnam dead |
| [03:21.719] |
|
| [03:24.89] |
Cryin' all alone under the stands |
| [03:27.19] |
Was the piccolo player in the marching band |
| [03:30.389] |
And one name read and no one really cared |
| [03:36.979] |
but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair |
| [03:44.169] |
I cried |
| [03:47.389] |
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [03:50.809] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [03:53.879] |
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier |
| [03:57.369] |
Our love will never end |
| [04:00.119] |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| [04:04.109] |
Never more to be alone |
| [04:06.299] |
When the letter says a soldier's coming home |
| [04:10.639] |
I cried |
| [04:13.319] |
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| [04:17.499] |
Too young for him they told her |
| [04:20.89] |
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier |
| [04:23.609] |
Our love will never end |
| [04:26.419] |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| [04:30.279] |
Never more to be alone |
| [04:32.589] |
When the letter says a soldier's coming home |
