Lyrics
If I could get off this war path
And the enemy doesn’t find me
I’d welcome the chance for one last dance
With the one I left behind me
And I thought I knew plenty
Was younger than some men assigned me
But I learned by the morn, valor’s inborn
From the ones I left behind me
A bomb burst on the roadside
The force of the blast would blind me
And when I awoke, the nurses spoke
Of the ones I left behind me
The ones I left behind
When I join you finally
We look down from high, and ask ourselves why
The ones I left behind me
So thank you for you letter
Thank you, very kindly
I don’t forget a face that I met
The ones I left behind me
Of the one I left behind
