Travelin' Soldier (远行战士) - Ameritz Tribute Standards (阿莫瑞兹致敬标准)

Two days past eighteen

He was waitin' for the bus

In his army greens

Sat down in a booth at a cafe there

Gave his order to the girl

With a bow in her hair

He's a little shy so she gave him a smile

And he said would you mind

Sittin' down for a while

And talkin' to me I'm feelin' 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've 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 the travelin' soldier

Our love will never end

Waitin' for the soldier

To come back again

Never more to be alone

When the letter says a soldier's coming home

So the letters came

From an army camp

In California then Vietnam

And he told his heart

It might be love

And all of the things

He was so scared of

Said when it's gettin kinda tough over here

I think about that day

Sittin' down at the pier

And 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 the travelin' soldier

Our love will never end

Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone

When the letter

Says 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 the list of local Vietnam dead

Cryin' all alone under the stands

Was the piccolo player in the marching band

And one name read

And no one 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 the travelin' soldier

Our love will never end

Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone

When the letter says a soldier's coming home
