[00:00.790] Two days past eighteen
[00:03.530] He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
[00:06.400] Sat down in a booth at a café there
[00:09.999] Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair
[00:13.279] He's a little shy so she gave him a smile
[00:16.169] And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
[00:19.699] And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low
[00:25.199]
[00:25.849] She said I'm off in an hour
[00:28.539] And I know where we can go
[00:31.100]
[00:35.860] So they went down and they sat on the pier
[00:38.990] He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
[00:42.520] I've got no one to send a letter to
[00:48.30]
[00:49.100] Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?
[00:56.500] I cried
[00:59.570] Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[01:03.279] Too young for him they told her
[01:06.230] Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[01:09.670] Our love will never end
[01:12.500] Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[01:16.600] Never more to be alone
[01:18.730] When the letter says a soldier's coming home
[01:25.380]
[01:28.850] So the letters came
[01:30.220] From an army camp
[01:32.330] In California then Vietnam
[01:35.220] And he told his heart
[01:37.150] It might be love
[01:38.659] And all of the things he was so scared of
[01:42.170] Said when it's gettin kinda tough over here
[01:45.370]
[01:45.300] I think about that day sittin' down at the pier
[01:48.510] And close my eyes and see your pretty smile
[01:54.370]
[01:55.180] Don't worry
[01:56.60] But I won't be able to write for a while
[02:02.490] I cried
[02:05.370] Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[02:09.69] Too young for him they told her
[02:12.19] Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[02:15.289] Our love will never end
[02:18.309] Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[02:22.249] Never more to be alone
[02:24.579] When the letter says a soldier's coming home
[02:30.789]
[03:07.489] One Friday night at a football game
[03:10.859] The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
[03:14.109] A man said folks would you bow your heads
[03:17.469] For the list of local Vietnam dead
[03:21.719]
[03:24.89] Cryin' all alone under the stands
[03:27.19] Was the piccolo player in the marching band
[03:30.389] And one name read and no one really cared
[03:36.979] but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
[03:44.169] I cried
[03:47.389] Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[03:50.809] Too young for him they told her
[03:53.879] Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[03:57.369] Our love will never end
[04:00.119] Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[04:04.109] Never more to be alone
[04:06.299] When the letter says a soldier's coming home
[04:10.639] I cried
[04:13.319] Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[04:17.499] Too young for him they told her
[04:20.89] Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[04:23.609] Our love will never end
[04:26.419] Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[04:30.279] Never more to be alone
