[00:12.81] Back in a 41, you met a brown-eyed boy
[00:19.65] Who called you pretty
[00:24.73] He’d walk every day, couple miles out of his way
[00:30.20] To hold your hand and keep you company
[00:36.29] Your mama said, don’t call it love at 14
[00:42.12] But sittin’ on that front porch swing
[00:47.29] He gave you his picture in a locket
[00:50.62] That you wore around your neck
[00:53.53] Left it right beside your heart
[00:56.94] So you would not forget
[01:00.15] The way it felt when he held your hand
[01:11.74] And you swore that you would never take it off
[01:18.04] And the butterflies you felt said it all
[01:24.49] You were falling for the boy inside your locket
[01:36.87] Back in a 43, the brown-eyed boy went overseas
[01:42.11] And had to leave town for a little while
[01:48.72] He swore he’d marry you
[01:51.66] As soon as the war was through
[01:54.31] You would be his wife
[02:00.31] Standing in the pouring rain
[02:05.86] You cried as you watched him ride away
[02:11.36] But everyday
[02:14.56] You had his picture in a locket
[02:17.63] That you wore around your neck
[02:20.62] Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
[02:27.12] The way his kiss tasted on your lips
[02:38.40] And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone
[02:44.61] And you prayed that God would bring him safely home
[02:50.94] ‘Cause you made a promise
[02:55.47] To the boy inside your locket
[03:02.81] Oh, 60 years you two had together
[03:09.84] But he’s been gone for a couple now
[03:15.05] And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
[03:22.05] But I’ve been writing all your memories down
[03:26.59] And I stopped by today
[03:30.15] To read a couple pages
[03:33.75] Grandma, you sure look pretty
[03:38.67] And you smiled that smile
[03:45.15] The one I haven’t seen in quite a while
[03:50.56] And you said to me, I want you to keep
[03:57.07] His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck
[04:02.59] The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget
[04:09.19] The greatest love and the greatest man
[04:14.26] I’ve ever known
[04:20.79] But it’s gettin’ time for me to head on home
[04:26.47] She said, that brown-eyed boy is waiting
[04:29.49] And I don’t want to keep him long
[04:33.74] Heaven is calling
[04:38.34] And she said, my heart is longing
[04:43.51] For the boy inside your locket
