Song lyrics:

TWO DAYS PAST EIGHTEEN
HE WAS WAITIN' 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 GAVE HIM A SMILE

AND HE SAID WOULD YOU MIND
SITTIN' DOWN FOR A WHILE
AND TALKIN' TO ME
I'M FEELIN' 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...
I... CRIED
NEVER GONNA HOLD THE
HAND OF ANOTHER GUY

TOO YOUNG
FOR HIM THEY TOLD HER
WAITIN' FOR THE LOVE
OF A TRAVELLIN' SOLDIER

OUR LOVE WILL NEVER END
WAITIN' FOR THE SOLDIER
TO COME BACK AGAIN
NEVER MORE TO BE ALONE
WHEN THE LETTER SAYS
A SOLDIER'S COMIN' 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 GETTIN'
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 A WHILE
I... CRIED
NEVER GONNA HOLD THE
HAND OF ANOTHER GUY

TOO YOUNG
FOR HIM THEY TOLD HER
WAITIN' FOR THE LOVE
OF A TRAVELLIN' SOLDIER

OUR LOVE WILL NEVER END
WAITIN' FOR THE SOLDIER
TO COME BACK AGAIN
NEVER MORE TO BE ALONE
WHEN THE LETTER SAYS
A SOLDIER'S COMIN' HOME

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

CRYIN' ALL ALONE
UNDER THE STANDS
WAS A PICCOLO PLAYER
IN THE MARCHIN' BAND

AND ONE NAME READ
AND NOBODY REALLY CARED
BUT A PRETTY LITTLE GIRL
WITH A BOW IN HER HAIR

I... CRIED
NEVER GONNA HOLD THE
HAND OF ANOTHER GUY

TOO YOUNG
FOR HIM THEY TOLD HER
WAITIN' FOR THE LOVE
OF A TRAVELLIN' SOLDIER

OUR LOVE WILL NEVER END
WAITIN' FOR THE SOLDIER
TO COME BACK AGAIN
NEVER MORE TO BE ALONE
WHEN THE LETTER SAYS
A SOLDIER'S COMIN'

I... CRIED
NEVER GONNA HOLD THE
HAND OF ANOTHER GUY

TOO YOUNG
FOR HIM THEY TOLD HER
WAITIN' FOR THE LOVE
OF A TRAVELLIN' SOLDIER

OUR LOVE WILL NEVER END
WAITIN' FOR THE SOLDIER
TO COME BACK AGAIN
NEVER MORE TO BE ALONE
WHEN THE LETTER SAYS
A SOLDIER'S COMIN' HOME...
