He came home to her today
Seems so long ago he went away
Left her side to fight a war
He believed in what the fight was for
V2
He fought the fight for freedom’s sake
Knowing the danger and the risk he’d take
Young brothers fighting by his side
Mourning their fall whenever one would die
V3
He dreams of home most everyday
His life with her back in the USA
Thinking of happy times to come
His reality is talking machine guns
V4
She got the news just yesterday
Her true love was coming home to stay
She watched the plane land from above
It brought the flag draped box that held her love
Chorus
He came home to her today
Seems so long ago he went away
Left her side to fight a war
He believed in what the fight was for
(Pause)
He came home to her today
