Bill's Widow
A knock came at her door
Two men stood in Class A's
Dark news came to be delivered
She'd never forget this day
One gave her Bill's baseball cap
His favorite Braves, blue and red
The other handed her the family photo
Her husband kept by his bed
The first man said, "He adored the children
Thinking of christmases and all great times
The Truth is right at the end
You were the last thing on his mind"
Mrs. Brown, it was our honor to know Bill
And he was proud
We're sorry to inform you
Bill's plane has been shot down
Two men stood in Class A's
Dark news came to be delivered
She'd never forget this day
One gave her Bill's baseball cap
His favorite Braves, blue and red
The other handed her the family photo
Her husband kept by his bed
The first man said, "He adored the children
Thinking of christmases and all great times
The Truth is right at the end
You were the last thing on his mind"
Mrs. Brown, it was our honor to know Bill
And he was proud
We're sorry to inform you
Bill's plane has been shot down
