VERSE 01: A soldier boy in a foreign land,/ Was lonely as could be,/ Tho' danger lurk'd on ev'ry hand,/ His thoughts were across the sea./ Then in the din of the cannon's roar,/ (Back to the one he was longing for,)/ Quickly he pencil'd a little note,/ This is the message that he wrote. CHORUS: After the war is over,/ After the world's at rest,/ I'm coming back to you, dear,/ The one I love the best./ Then there will be no sorrow,/ Sunshine will come once more,/ We'll have a happy tomorrow,/ After the war is o'er. VERSE 02: The weary days slowly dragged along,/ Yet his heart knew no fear,/ His regiment kept fighting on,/ With victory seeming near./ Back in the village someone doth yearn,/ Praying each day for his safe return,/ Press'd to her heart is his tender note,/ She loves each word that he wrote. | |
