"The Last Letter"



This will be the last letter
That you will get from me.
But I will go on loving you
For all eternity.

When you receive this letter
I hope you'll understand
That I will love and miss you
No matter where I am.

Today we met the enemy
And although I did my best,
I now lay here dying
With a bullet in my chest.

The sky grows dark before my eyes,
But you my Love, I still see
Standing with our child in your arms
Standing, waiting for me.

I must go now my love,
So take him by the hand
And just hope and pray
That all wars end
Before he becomes a man.

I must go now my love
Good-bye
Good-bye My Love
Good-bye.
