| The Last Goodbye
This letter I sealed with the tears from my eyes, The words contained are touched by my lips, And as I wearily walk toward the mailbox, Realizing it'll be my last trip. I've been called upon to fight for my country, Just found out that my flight leaves tonight, I'm so sorry that we cannot be together, And I may never get to hold you tight. I just wanted you to know how I love you, And what joy you have given to my life, My plan was to ask you to marry me, And spend long happy days as my wife. But now I must ask you to forget me, Cast our dreams upon the burning sun, For my soul now belongs to the government, Who won't quit until they think they have won. I cannot guarantee that I won't be the one, Who lay dead in hot foreign sand, Or be part of a convoy that was just blown up, From bombs planted by enemy hands. So please darling forget that you loved me, Move on and find somebody new, Someone who will keep you safe at night, And be there each day just for you. So now with much sorrow I must say goodbye, I didn't want it to ever end this way, And had I known of such plans before I signed up, We would have been married on this day. |
