Two days past eighteen 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 talkin' 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 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 a travelin' soldier. Our love will never end. Waitin' for the soldier Come back again Never more be alone When the letter says "The soldier's coming home." So the letters came From an army camp In California than Vietnam. He told of his heart It might be love And all of the things He was so scared of. He said, "When its gettin' kinda rough Over here I think of that day Sittin' down on the pier. I close my eyes And see your pretty smile. Don't worry, But I won't be able to write for awhile." 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." Cryin' all alone Under the stands Was a piccolo player In the marchin' band Nad one name read and Nobody really cared But a pretty little girl With a bow in her hair.
