C/ETwo days past 18, he was waitin for a bus in his army greens
Fsat down in a booth, at a cafe there
gave his oC/Erder to a girl with a bow in her hair
hes a little shy so she give him a smile
and he said would you mind sitting down for a while, and Ftalking
Im feeling a little C/Elow
she said im Goff in an hour and FI know where we can C/Ego
C/Eso they went down and they sat on the peir
he said I bet you got a boyfriend but I dont care
Ive Fgot noone, to send a letter C/Eto
would you mGind if I sent oFne back here to yC/Eou?
(chorus)
AmI cried, nFever gonna hold the hand of another guy,
C/Etoo young for him they told her
Gwaiting for the love of a travelling soldier
Amour love will never end, wFaiting for that soldier to come back again
C/Enever gonna be alone
when the leGtter said, soldiers comingC/E home,
so the letters came from an army camp, in california then veitnam
and he told her of his heart, it might be love
and all of the things he was so scared of
he said when its getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sitting down at the pier
and I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
dont worry but I wont be able to write for a while
(chorus)
(half time)
one friday night at a football game
the lords prayer said and the anthem sang
and the man said folks, would you bow your heads
for a list of local veitnam vets
crying all alone under the stands
was a pickalo player in a marching band
and one name read, nobody really cared
except a pretty little girl, with a bow in her hair
(chorus x2)
