- Two days past eighteen
She was waiting for the bus in her army green
Sat down in a booth in a café near by
Gave her order to a guy in a thin black tie
She's a little shy so he give her a smile
And she said, 'Would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me?
I'm feeling a little low.'
He said, 'I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go.'
So they went down and they sat on the pier
Said, 'I bet you got a girlfriend but I don't care.
I got no one to send a letter to.
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?'
I cried
You never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
So the letters came once a week at least
From Oklahoma then the Middle East
And she told him of her heart
It might be love and all of the things she was so scared of
She said, 'When it's getting kinda rough over here,
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier.
And I close my eyes and see your handsome smile.
Don't worry, but I won't be able to write for a while.'
I cried
You never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A man said, 'Folks would you bow your heads
For a list of the local army dead.'
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read but nobody really cried
But a single guy of thin black tie
I cried
You never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming
I cried
You never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
