[Verse 1 — Soldier]

I do hope this reaches you safely

It’s been really hectic lately

The trains are always late, see

I do hope you did not get married

If you did I hope you’d tell me

And not hide the secret slyly

'Cause that would quite upset me

[Verse 2 — Girlfriend]

Thank God I received your letter

Now I’m feeling awfully better

’Cause I’ve been quite under the weather

Thought you’d forgotten all about me

And I was someone you did not need

You provеd me wrong, I’m so pleased

Your words thеy make me happy

[Verse 3 — Soldier]

My love, I’m feeling rather lonely

I’m missing my one and only

This war is ending slowly

My good friend John’s no longer with us

And it still haunts me, all the stillness

The papers say we're fearless

They said we’d be home for Christmas

[Verse 4 — Girlfriend]

To miss someone like I miss you

I thought impossible to do

But now I know that it’s true

To see you leave on that train

Caused me bittersweet pain

My faith in you will remain

And I will kiss you once again

[Verse 5 — Soldier]

I’ve wanted to write you letters for a long time

Like they do in books of mine

But someday I won’t need to write

You and I will settle down

Not too far from our hometown

I’ll be a city businessman

I’ll be a city businessman

[Verse 6 — Girlfriend]

Darling this future quite excites me

But don’t copy books exactly

Only true things you should write me

I’ll always love you for who you are

You needn’t try so hard

Just be safe and think of me

And write your reply quickly

[Verse 7 — Soldier]

When this painful war is over

We’ll get married and the earth will

Grow the most beautiful flowers

And they will all be ours

And your delicate womb

Will hold a beautiful girl

And she will be ours

She will be ours
