G.I. Blues
(For Darlene and Dan)
Oh dearest one, you're far away
The light fades from my eyes
I felt a lump inside my heart
When we said our good-byes.
I saw my life in colors with you
Just the other day
But now you're gone and all I see
Are dimmer shades of gray.
I understand that you must go
And painfully I wait
And one day soon, when you return
We'll never separate.
Until that day, I will hold dear
The times we've spent together
And patiently await the day
I'll be with you forever.
Oh dearest one, you're far away
The light fades from my eyes
I felt a lump inside my heart
When we said our good-byes.
I saw my life in colors with you
Just the other day
But now you're gone and all I see
Are dimmer shades of gray.
I understand that you must go
And painfully I wait
And one day soon, when you return
We'll never separate.
Until that day, I will hold dear
The times we've spent together
And patiently await the day
I'll be with you forever.
