Met my lover in 51'
We were wild
Oh we were so young

Ride street cars to the land of dance
On Troy Hill I bloomed a romance
With you

I hope my letters reach you soon
I miss the smell of your perfume
I keep your picture in the pocket by my heart

I called her on the telephone
Said baby I will make it home
But if I don't at least I will die free
The stars and stripes were marching through
A cloudy sky was turning blue
All the while I'm thinking about you
The sky was turning blue

Headed north runnin on fumes
16 months and 42 moons
With you

A planted flower in Garden soil
Grows a love that never spoils you
For you

I hope my letters reach you soon
I miss the smell of your perfume
I keep your picture in the pocket by my heart

I called her on the telephone
Said baby I will make it home
But if I don't at least I will die free
The stars and stripes were marching through
A cloudy sky was turning blue
All the while I'm thinking about you
The sky was turning

Hey my love
I'm coming home
To you

I called her on the telephone
Said baby I will make it home
But if I don't at least I will die free
The stars and stripes were marching through
A cloudy sky was turning blue
All the while I'm thinking about you
The sky was turning

Blue
The sky was turning
Sky was turning
Blue
The sky was turning
Sky was turning blue

Sky was turning blue
