A letter to a soldier
That I had scarcely known
A letter to a soldier
With no one of his own
Some mail for him to open
When others get their share
A line to show there's someone
To care somewhere

A letter to a soldier
Who's half a world away
The day that it was written
Was my red letter day
For that was how it all began
And now there's going to be
A letter to a soldier
Coming home to marry me

For that was how it all began
And now there's going to be
A letter to a soldier
Coming home to marry me
