He was waiting for the bus in his army green Sat down in a booth in a cafe there Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair He's a little shy so she gives him a smile And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while And talking to me I'm feeling a little low
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier He said I bet you got a boyfriend 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 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 from an army camp In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart It might be love And all of the things he was so scared of He 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 pretty smile
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while
I cried 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 local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands Was a piccolo player in the marching band And one name read but nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
I cried 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 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
