Here is the soil where he kneeled making my heart do flips
A ring in his hand and a promise on his lips
So young and pure were we
Full of passion, how we felt so free
I said Yes, he said forever
My love was a dreamer, niavie but clever
Bombs did strike, men left
Mine followed suit with the promise on his breath
Sometimes promises prove to be moot, unable to be kept
Not every wish can be met
He was lost, a victim of the cause
One of many, there wasn't even a pause
Fighting continued, my heart did weep
When it was over I thought of the promise that he could not keep
Nothing to be done but to live
My life went on but I had no love to give
Heart was lost with him overseas
As I stand where he had kneeled, I feel him on the breeze
My love, so far away
I can not let go, so with me you stay
