When she saw his face for the first time
He had the sparkle of the stars in his eyes
And when he first embraced her
There was never a thought of good-byes
And for a long sunny summer
Life was so easy, life was fun
Nothing to care or worry about
As if the morning of a new day had begun
Love will be our bond
And hold us together
Love is like a magic wand
Our love will last forever
But in the autumn his country called
There were troubles in a far away land
He kissed her quick and he told her
He would write her whenever he can
Then he packed his bag and he left her
On a journey, waving her good-bye
She stood in the door and watched him
And a tear stole into her eye
Love will be our bond…
She waited a long winter
But never a word was heard
And in the spring she felt betrayed
By all the flowers and the birds
But her thoughts were always with him
She was never there alone
She spoke to him in her dreams
And always welcomed him home
Love will be our bond…
And then one day in summer
To her they brought him back
And with their condolation left her
A coffin, a medal and a flag
He did his country honour
A hero and a friend
She only had a memory
And a photo in her hand.
