The War
It was cold outside and we were all dressed up
we danced in the streets cause
we were madly in love
he took my hand and held me tight
kissed me and hugged me and
came to my house every night
one summer i had to go away
from this town that i have always called home
it killed me to say my goodbye
but he wrote me a letter everyday that went by
Finally i returned and it was a surprise
he held me and didn't let me out of his sight
he always loved me and he always will
he let me know everyday that our love was for real
War broke out and he had to go
because of those German and there Uboats
he said to me that he would come back
for he couldn't leave this world without me in his arms
and then we went and i feared he would never return
he wrote me everyday that he was gone
he told me that the fighting was real strong
but our love he felt even miles away
he knew he would be back
to see my smiling face
The Last letter i got from him was full of memories
for he knew his own fate on that morning in the trenches at three
he reminded me of all those good times at the lake
and picnics in the woods
and how we would stay out real late
but at the end of the letter i started to cry
for the letter got sloppy and then i knew why
he wrote that he wont make it through the night
but he will wait for me in the heaven's sky
The War has now taken my love's life
