Now it was just the other day |
|
These are the words I heard a soldier sing |
|
He said, "Tell my babe |
|
To keep a light in the window |
|
Till I come home, till I come home" |
|
Well, I don't know |
|
How long or how soon |
|
Maybe tomorrow, it may be never |
|
Or maybe this afternoon |
|
Somebody tell my baby |
|
To please keep a light, keep a light |
|
Keep a light in the window |
|
Till I come home, home, home |
|
Now darlin' you know |
|
How much I need you |
|
You see I been gone |
|
So long, so long |
|
But there's nothing |
|
Will ever change the way I feel |
|
I'm just asking you to hold on, baby |
|
Please hold on, listen |
|
I'm risking my life every day |
|
To end this fight |
|
But deep down inside my soul right now |
|
I believe I know, I said, I know this cause is right |
|
I just want you, baby |
|
Please keep a light |
|
Keep a light burning |
|
In the window |
|
Till I, till I, till I, till I, till I come on home again |
