Nvr Gonna Hold The Hand Of Anthr Guy...

Two days past eighteen 
He was waiting for the bus in his army green

Sat down in a booth at 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 

I cry 
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy 
Too young for him they told her 
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier 
Our love will never end 
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again 
Never Born to be alone when the letter said 
Soldier's coming home 

So the letters came from an army camp 
From 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 

I cry 
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy 
Too young for him they told her 
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier 
Our love will never end 
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again 
Never Born to be alone when the letter said 
Soldier's coming 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 
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..

I cry 
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy 
Too young for him they told her 
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier 
Our love will never end 
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again 
Never Born to be alone when the letter said 
Soldier's coming home .....
