[00:15.17]Two days past eighteen
[00:17.58]He was waitin' on a bus in his army greens
[00:20.60]Sat down in a booth in a café there
[00:23.69]Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
[00:27.07]He's a little shy so she give him a smile
[00:30.04]He said"Would you mind sittin' down for a while
[00:33.03]And talkin' to me? I'm feelin' pretty low"
[00:38.92]She said"I'm off in an hour and I know a place we can go"
[00:48.26]So they went down and sat on the pier
[00:51.34]He said"I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
[00:54.32]'Cause I got no one to send back a letter to
[01:00.43]Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?"
[01:07.56]I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[01:13.56]Too young for him they told her
[01:16.34]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[01:19.70]Our love will never end
[01:22.32]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[01:25.85]Never more to be alone when the letter says
[01:30.02]"A soldier's coming home"
[01:37.41]So the letters came from an army camp
[01:40.52]In California then Vietnam and he told her of his heart
[01:45.26]How it might be love all of the things he was so scared of
[01:50.09]He said"When it's gettin' kinda rough over here
[01:53.11]I sit and think about that day on the pier
[01:55.88]And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
[02:01.98]Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile"
[02:09.10]I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[02:15.12]Too young for him they told her
[02:17.88]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[02:21.24]Our love will never end
[02:23.86]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[02:27.42]Never more to be alone when the letter says
[02:31.53]"A soldier's comin' home"
[02:39.05]One Friday night at a football game
[02:42.31]The Lord's prayer said and the anthem sang
[02:45.41]And a man said"Folks would you bow your heads
[02:48.30]For a list of the local Vietnam dead"
[02:57.78]Cryin' all alone underneath the stands
[03:00.56]Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band
[03:03.72]And one name read and nobody really cared
[03:09.58]'Cept that pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
[03:16.77]I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[03:22.75]Too young for him they told her
[03:25.64]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[03:28.89]Our love will never end
[03:31.55]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[03:35.13]Never more to be alone when the letter says
[03:39.22]"A soldier's comin' home"
[03:46.61]When the letter says"A soldier's comin' home"
