    (Bruce Robison)

    Two days past eighteen
    He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
    Sat down in a booth at a café there
    Gave his order to the 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've got no one to send a letter to
    Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?

    CHORUS:
    I cried
    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 more to be alone
    When the letter says a soldier's coming home

    So the letters came
    From an army camp
    In California then Vietnam
    And he told his heart
    It might be love
    And all of the things he was so scared of
    Said when it's gettin kinda rough over here
    I think about that day sittin' down at the pier
    And close my eyes and see your pretty smile
    Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while

    CHORUS

    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 the list of local Vietnam dead
    Cryin' all alone under the stands
    Was the 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

    CHORUS
