VERSE 01: Come, dear, kiss your boy goodbye,/Look me in the eye, promise you’ll not cry/Keep love’s fires burning bright,/For Uncle Sam will see that things come right./If I know that you are brave, I’ll beat the foe,/So just smile and kiss me, honey, ere I go. CHORUS: For I’m hitting the trail to Normandy,/So kiss me goodbye;/When we’ve carried the flag to victory,/Then back to your arms I’ll fly./So just smile all the while when I’m over the sea,/And, honey, keep your love and kisses waiting for me;/For I’m hitting the trail to Normandy,/So kiss me goodbye. VERSE 02: Sweetheart, I will miss you so/When away I go off to meet the foe/In dreams fires burning bright,/For Uncle Sam will see that things come right./If I know that you are brave,/I’ll beat the foe,/So just smile and kiss me, honey, ere I go. CHORUS FOR MALE OR MIXED VOICES: For I’m hitting the trail to Normandy,/So kiss me goodbye (goodbye),/When we’ve carried the flag to victory,/Then back to your arms I’ll fly (I’ll fly)./So just smile all the while when I’m over the sea,/And, honey, keep your love and kisses waiting for me,/For I’m hitting the trail to Normandy,/So kiss me goodbye. | |
