Two days past eighteen[00:00:01]
Sat down in a booth at a cafe there[00:00:03]
Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair[00:00:06]
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile[00:00:10]
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while[00:00:13]
And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low[00:00:17]
She said I'm off in an hour[00:00:19]
And I know where we can go[00:00:27]
So they went down and they sat on the pier[00:00:37]
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care[00:00:40]
I've got no one to send a letter to[00:00:43]
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you [00:00:47]
I cried[00:00:57]
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy[00:01:00]
Too young for him they told her[00:01:04]
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier[00:01:07]
Our love will never end[00:01:10]
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again[00:01:13]
Never more to be alone[00:01:17]
When the letter says a soldier's coming home[00:01:19]
So the letters came[00:01:30]
From an army camp[00:01:31]
In California then Vietnam[00:01:33]
And he told his heart[00:01:36]
It might be love[00:01:38]
And all of the things he was so scared of[00:01:40]
Said when it's gettin kinda tough over here[00:01:43]
I think about that day sittin' down at the pier[00:01:47]
And close my eyes and see your pretty smile[00:01:50]
Don't worry[00:01:56]
But I won't be able to write for a while[00:01:57]
I cried[00:02:04]
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy[00:02:07]
Too young for him they told her[00:02:10]
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier[00:02:13]
Our love will never end[00:02:17]
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again[00:02:20]
Never more to be alone[00:02:24]
When the letter says a soldier's coming home[00:02:26]
One Friday night at a football game[00:03:10]
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang[00:03:13]
A man said folks would you bow your heads[00:03:16]
For the list of local Vietnam dead[00:03:20]
Cryin' all alone under the stands[00:03:27]
Was the piccolo player in the marching band[00:03:29]
And one name read and no one really cared[00:03:33]
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair[00:03:40]
I cried[00:03:47]
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy[00:03:50]
Too young for him they told her[00:03:54]
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier[00:03:56]
Our love will never end[00:04:00]
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again[00:04:03]
Never more to be alone[00:04:07]
When the letter says a soldier's coming home[00:04:09]
