Broken Promise
As i waved you goodbye the day that i left
A loving embrace and the tears that were wept
To the poppyfields of france we answered the call
So many young lives lost and its here that i fall
My mind wanders back to when i last saw you
My promise to you that this we would get through
The crossing of my heart to our young son and daughter
That daddy would be back home come hell or high water
Remember me.......
Forgive me my loved ones for a promise spoken
Im sorry i wont be coming home i lie here bleeding and broken
Forgive me.........
To the left and the right of me my comrades lie still
But never to see my family again though is the bitterest pill
I see in my minds eye the life i am leaving
I see the pain of my loved ones there crying there grieving
But be still my love for you have no more tears to weep
My pain will soon be over then eternal sleep
So think of me warmly and this price i have paid
And when your time comes my love do not be afraid
For i shall be waiting here to take you by the hand
To kiss you embrace you and lead you to gods golden land
Together again in eternity.......Forever
