Lyrics

there you stand out side the ship waiving your hands goodbye

we shall return before the spring but please don’t keep standing by

believe in love and invest in truth I promise to return to you

the soldiers creed is what I know and I’ll honor and prove it to you

so don’t you worry Ill be fine I’ll return before the bluebirds in the spring time I’ll come home and love you so promise me honey that you’ll never let me go

I mailed you a letter explaining it all my intentions are best with you

and when I get back onto the shore I plan on marrying you

We’ll start our family and build a house and put the war behind us

we’ll call our first born baby, "Eleanor Jane" just like ship we sailed on

so don’t you worry Ill be fine I’ll return before the bluebirds in the spring time I’ll come home and love you so promise me honey that you’ll never let me go
