My Brave Soldier
I went off to war that day
My heart was filled with pride
I looked at my sweetheart
and a tear fell from her eye
I promised her that I'd come back
And never would I die
She looked at me in silence
And we watched the world collide
Home, come back home, my brave soldier, come back home
The years they pasted, brothers fell
The best of them was gone
I put my hopes on someone
But he never came along
My friends lay in the cold dark mud
Someone has to pay
But I just long for your sweet touch
I still hear you say
Home, come back home, my brave soldier, come back home
Home, where you belong, my brave soldier, please stay strong
Home, Home, Home,
I wrote a goodbye letter
I remember what I said
I prayed it, would not be open
‘cause I’m gone if it was read
The day came when the whistle blew
A day of lasting dread
And all I heard as the bullets flew
was my sweetheart softly say
Home, come back home, my brave soldier, come back home
Home, where you belong, my brave soldier, please stay strong
Home, Home, Home, Home
