When the letter says
(You’re doing fine, Bill.)
3158
A soldier’s coming home.
3159
One Friday night at a football game,
3160
The Lord’s Prayer said and the Anthem sang,
3161
A man said "Folks would you bow your head,
3162
For a list of local Vietnam dead."
3163
Crying all alone under the stands
3164
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
3165
And one name read and nobody really cared
3166
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair.
3167
I cried
3168
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
3169
Too young for him they told her
3170
Waitin’ for the love of a travelin’ soldier,
-“BB”-
3171
Our love will never end
3172
Waitin’ for the soldier to come back again
3173
Never more to be alone when the letter says
3174
A soldier’s coming.
3175
home.
