Lyrics
Duty called him in the fall of 44
Every telegram, every knock on the door
She said a silent prayer that he'd be coming home
Her eyes fell on him for the first time in a year
And a raging fire replaced those raging fears
She knew a good girl should wait but she had him all alone
And after all that time
She wanted him so much
They traded vows, heard a new born baby's cry
Before too long, had a family of five
They sat together hand in hand & watched their children grow
Next thing they knew, their baby girl became a bride
They walked her down the aisle and when they danced that night
He looked so deep in her eyes & said "I love you so"
And after all that time
She still wanted him so much
She never looked at another man
He was her whole world
Why the Lord took him & left her behind
Remains a mystery to her
He's been gone so many years but she still sheds a tear
After all that time
She still wanted him so much
