You watched me from the dock
With tears in your eyes
I said I was going for glory
You said I was going to die
My helmet wasn't heavy
Or the gun across my back
But when the ship pulled away
My heart could have knocked me flat
The ship is going down
The captains jumped the bow
But my mind is far away
We were laughing yesterday
If fate is real then luck is not
I'd trade this world for one last shot
One more dance by the old jukebox
I'd finally say what I could not
Murphy sleeps above me
He dreams about killing Krauts
I've talked so much about you
He told me to shut my mouth
This is my first letter
But it won't be my last
Just imagine the house we'll own
The kids playing on the grass
I can already see the headlines
And the medals on my chest
I think I'll wear my uniform when you wear your wedding dress
The ship is going down
The captains jumped the bow
But my mind is far away
We were laughing yesterday
If fate is real then luck is not
I'd trade this world for one last shot
One more dance by the old jukebox
I'd finally say what I could not
Everybody's screaming
The top deck's in flames
I can hear the roaring engines
Of the enemy fighter planes
I hope this message reaches you
I sincerely hope you know
That I love you more than life itself and I wish I didn't go
The ship is going down
The captains jumped the bow
Into nothing I will fade
Like my dreams from yesterday
If fate is real then luck is not
I'd trade it all for one last shot
One more dance by the old jukebox
I'd finally say what I could not
