| "Home By December" | |
| Last time she saw me she was crying And holding my hand so tight I promised someday wed have a honeymoon When I left for the base that night The first time I wrote her a letter as they flew me overseas I said things would get better after the war Cause theyd pay for my degree I told her not to cry That victory was near Ill be home by December Theres nothing to fear I missed her so bad Thought about her everyday And I could feel her missing me From so many miles away I was south of the action As the summer slowly passed But the action dragged on longer Than we ever thought itd last I wrote her in the fall and said I will stick to my vow Ill be home by December But Im headed north for now It was December When one morning she got a call Just to tell her I wasnt coming home at all You could say I died for freedom You could say I died for war But it broke her heart No matter what I died for I was homesick and scared But I was noble and brave And every December She brings flowers to my grave |
