Verse I
There was a girl who fell in love
The type of love girls dream of
So she told him she loved him and he better come back again
Off to war was were he went before he knew just what it meant
Then he realized with sad goodbyes
He might not be coming home
Well one cold morning on a foggy day with a single knock she knew right away, Her lover was never, never coming home
The officer at the door said I am sorry lady there is comfort knowing that he served his country bravely
But the words had no meaning
Her lover was gone for good
Pre chorus
Before the officer left he handed her a letter, said this might just keep you warm this winter, so she opened the letter and this is what the letter said.
Chorus
I've been in the desert for two long years. I've cried so much I've dried my tears. But you are the one who keeps me strong, praying someday, someday I'll return to you
Verses II
And return he did before too long like an empty shell his soul was gone, for he came back in a casket draped in the stars and stripes
In the little breaks between her tears, they were far and few between the years, she questioned the purpose of the war where her lover died
Most people agree she thought. There is a time to fight. When you clearly see wrong from right. But it's funny how the money starts most the fights.
So on the dollar bill we're forced to ask does it really say in gold we trust
Because our actions are louder then all are words.
Pre chorus
Now that his gone all she has is the letter of love he sent to her, so she opens the letter and this is what the letter says
