The Thought Of Her - 05/30/16 09:14 AM
It's Memorial Day.
One thing to remember... the young men (and women) that we send off to fight our wars are just that... young. They think the things that all of us think when we are that age. Fate simply puts them in a place they should not be.
A soldier's story.

THE THOUGHT OF HER
got an email from my sister
said that shoppin' down at walmart
she bumped into this girl she really likes
as sweet as i could ask for
when she heard that i'm off fighting
she asked if it's okay for her to write
well, that girl's become my fantasy
i just pretend she's here with me
in the solitude of night
she takes me to a better place
back to how things were
and i think i'm falling in love
with the thought of her.
the guys thought i was crazy
cause i acted like a school kid
'til that letter came on wednesday just 'fore noon
finally got to see her
she was pretty as a picture
and she signed it hugs and kisses, see you soon.
yeah,that girl's become my fantasy
i just pretend she's here with me
in the solitude of night
she takes me to a better place
back to how things were
and i think i've fallen in love
with the thought of her.
yesterday my war was finally over
i feel a peace that i have never known
they put me on an airplane back to dover
i'm comin' home
lord, i'm comin' home
and i'll always keep that fantasy
she'll be with me eternally
in the solitude of night
now i'm in a better place
free from how things were
but i'll always be in love
with the thought of her.
i'll always be in love with the thought of her
Peace.
