    Two days past eighteen

    He was waiting for the bus in his army green

    Sat down in a booth in a cafe there

    Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair

    He's a little shy so she gives him a smile

    And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while

    And talking to me,

    I'm feeling a little low

    She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go

 

    So they went down and they sat on the pier

    He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care

    I got no one to send a letter to

    Would you mind if I sent one back here to you

 

    Chorus: I cried

    Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

    Too young for him they told her

    Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

    Over love will never end

    Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

    Never more to be alone when the letter said

    A soldier's coming home

 

    So the letters came from an army camp

    In California then Vietnam

    And he told her of his heart

    It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of

    He said when it's getting kinda rough over here

    I think of that day sittin' down at the pier

    And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile

    Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile

 

    [Chorus]

 

    One Friday night at a football game

    The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang

    A man said folks would you bow your heads

    For a list of local Vietnam dead

    Crying all alone under the stands

    Was a piccolo player in the marching band

    And one name read and nobody really cared

    But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

 

    [Chorus]
