[00:00.395] 作曲 : Bruce Robison
[00:00.790]Two days past eighteen
[00:03.530]He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
[00:06.400]Sat down in a booth at a café there
[00:09.999]Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair
[00:13.279]He's a little shy so she gave him a smile
[00:16.169]And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
[00:19.699]And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low
[00:25.199]
[00:25.849]She said I'm off in an hour
[00:28.539]And I know where we can go
[00:31.100]
[00:35.860]So they went down and they sat on the pier
[00:38.990]He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
[00:42.520]I've got no one to send a letter to
[00:48.30]
[00:49.100]Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?
[00:56.500]I cried
[00:59.570]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[01:03.279]Too young for him they told her
[01:06.230]Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[01:09.670]Our love will never end
[01:12.500]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[01:16.600]Never more to be alone
[01:18.730]When the letter says a soldier's coming home
[01:25.380]
[01:28.850]So the letters came
[01:30.220]From an army camp
[01:32.330]In California then Vietnam
[01:35.220]And he told his heart
[01:37.150]It might be love
[01:38.659]And all of the things he was so scared of
[01:42.170]Said when it's gettin kinda tough over here
[01:45.370]
[01:45.300]I think about that day sittin' down at the pier
[01:48.510]And close my eyes and see your pretty smile
[01:54.370]
[01:55.180]Don't worry
[01:56.60]But I won't be able to write for a while
[02:02.490]I cried
[02:05.370]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[02:09.69]Too young for him they told her
[02:12.19]Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[02:15.289]Our love will never end
[02:18.309]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[02:22.249]Never more to be alone
[02:24.579]When the letter says a soldier's coming home
[02:30.789]
[03:07.489]One Friday night at a football game
[03:10.859]The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
[03:14.109]A man said folks would you bow your heads
[03:17.469]For the list of local Vietnam dead
[03:21.719]
[03:24.89]Cryin' all alone under the stands
[03:27.19]Was the piccolo player in the marching band
[03:30.389]And one name read and no one really cared
[03:36.979]but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
[03:44.169]I cried
[03:47.389]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[03:50.809]Too young for him they told her
[03:53.879]Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[03:57.369]Our love will never end
[04:00.119]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[04:04.109]Never more to be alone
[04:06.299]When the letter says a soldier's coming home
[04:10.639]I cried
[04:13.319]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[04:17.499]Too young for him they told her
[04:20.89]Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[04:23.609]Our love will never end
[04:26.419]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[04:30.279]Never more to be alone
[04:32.589]When the letter says a soldier's coming home
