| [00:05.71] |
Just a picture on a table |
| [00:11.10] |
Just some letters Mama saved |
| [00:16.46] |
And a costume broach from England |
| [00:21.81] |
On the back it has engraved: |
| [00:27.47] |
To Eileen, I love you |
| [00:32.57] |
London, nineteen forty-three. |
| [00:38.27] |
And she never heard from him again |
| [00:43.68] |
And he never heard of me |
| [00:48.76] |
And the war still ain't over for Mama |
| [00:54.24] |
Every night in her dreams she still sees |
| [00:59.95] |
The young face of someone who left her |
| [01:05.09] |
Silver medals and sweet memories |
| [01:16.32] |
In Mama's bedroom closet |
| [01:21.47] |
To this day on her top shelf |
| [01:26.89] |
There's a flag folded three-cornered |
| [01:32.98] |
Layin' all by itself |
| [01:37.84] |
And the Sergeant would surely be honored |
| [01:43.25] |
To know how pretty she still is |
| [01:48.67] |
And that after all these lonely years |
| [01:54.77] |
His Eileen's still his |
| [01:59.52] |
And the war still ain't over for Mama |
| [02:05.06] |
Every night in her dreams she still sees |
| [02:10.81] |
The young face of someone who left her |
| [02:15.96] |
Silver medals and sweet memories |
| [02:21.39] |
Silver medals and sweet memories |
| [02:28.93] |
