[00:13.11] Back in a 41' you met a brown-eyed boy
[00:19.92] Who called you pretty
[00:25.11] He’d walk every day' couple miles out of his way
[00:30.48] To hold your hand and keep you company
[00:36.61] Your mama said' don’t call it love at 14
[00:42.55] But sittin’ on that front porch swing
[00:47.42] He gave you his picture in a locket
[00:50.74] That you wore around your neck
[00:53.80] Left it right beside your heart
[00:57.05] So you would not forget
[01:00.23] The way it felt when he held your hand
[01:11.92] And you swore that you would never take it off
[01:18.24] And the butterflies you felt said it all
[01:24.61] You were falling for the boy inside your locket
[01:37.11] Back in a 43' the brown-eyed boy went overseas
[01:42.36] And had to leave town for a little while
[01:48.92] He swore he’d marry you
[01:51.86] As soon as the war was through
[01:54.55] You would be his wife
[02:00.61] Standing in the pouring rain
[02:03.23]
[02:06.37] You cried as you watched him ride away
[02:11.49] But everyday
[02:14.81] You had his picture in a locket
[02:18.18] That you wore around your neck
[02:20.74] Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
[02:27.31] The way his kiss tasted on your lips
[02:38.87] And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone
[02:44.87] And you prayed that God would bring him safely home
[02:51.06] ‘Cause you made a promise
[02:55.56] To the boy inside your locket
[03:02.87] Oh' 60 years you two had together
[03:10.37] But he’s been gone for a couple now
[03:15.06] And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
[03:22.43] But I’ve been writing all your memories down
[03:26.93] And I stopped by today
[03:30.37] To read a couple pages
[03:33.87] Grandma' you sure look pretty
[03:38.81] And you smiled that smile
[03:45.37] The one I haven’t seen in quite a while
[03:50.81] And you said to me' I want you to keep
[03:57.12] His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck
[04:02.68] The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget
[04:09.37] The greatest love and the greatest man
[04:13.45] I’ve ever known
[04:16.57]
[04:20.88] But it’s gettin’ time for me to head on home
[04:26.57] She said' that brown-eyed boy is waiting
[04:29.76] And I don’t want to keep him long
[04:33.82] Heaven is calling
[04:38.39] And she said' my heart is longing
[04:43.70] For the boy inside your locket
[00:13.11] Back in a 41' you met a browneyed boy
[00:19.92] Who called you pretty
[00:25.11] He' d walk every day' couple miles out of his way
