yellow ribbons flying 'round
one by her heart tied and bound.
her love, he's sending off today
she's hoping, praying he could stay
a yellow ribbon she'll wear always
thinking of him with the passing days
knowing this could be their last goodbye,
"I dedicate this to you in case I do die.
my love you are my one and only
without you I'll be so lonely
we've been tried and tested through-n-through
before I leave please say I do."
she's praying for his safe return
relying on the courage that she's learned
each day he's gone her pain has grown,
a love like this she's never known.
I love you, I loved you, I'll love you forever
you've been there for me through whatever.
a flag's now flying in the sky,
reminding her of their last goodbye.
