And my heart feels so alone
I look on my finger at my diamond ring
All those sweet memories make my heart sing
Just six months ago, my love left overseas
And I am tired of sitting at the dinner table just poking at my peas.
This morning the sun woke me up with a warm smile
On this morning of 1945 I will reunite with my dear Kyle
I slip on my best white heels with a tiny squirt of perfume
But my mind keeps racing with thoughts of embracing my husband, my groom
With minutes to spare, I slide on my white coat and begin to walk
It seems so long, how can it be only three blocks?
Across my work building, the American flag hangs proud
I can hear the band approaching over the cheering crowd
There are other families around in the same boat as me,
Our hearts are no longer empty but full of glee
Here comes the band playing trumpets and beating drums
Marching so proudly, our troops, here they come!
There is my Kyle in his sailor suit with tears running down his face
I push through the crowd towards him to finally embrace
There’s no more waiting around
My heart’s only love has been found
And I can live with him in complete freedom, you see
Because he fought for me.
