lT HAD TO BE LOVE Young girls on trains were on the way, To a sailor or soldier, the man they love. He was a gift from heaven above. Not brave, not bold. It had to be love. They would be together. An hour, with luck a day. Orders would send him far away. With a smile on her face, a tear in her eye. In a long embrace they kissed goodbye. She hurried to board the train. Turned for one last look. To throw a kiss, that did not miss. The train was crowded, but she felt alone. Found a seat, for the long journey home. She prayed for his safe return.
lT HAD TO BE LOVE
Young girls on trains were on the way,
To a sailor or soldier, the man they love.
He was a gift from heaven above.
Not brave, not bold. It had to be love.
They would be together.
An hour, with luck a day.
Orders would send him far away.
With a smile on her face, a tear in her eye.
In a long embrace they kissed goodbye.
She hurried to board the train.
Turned for one last look.
To throw a kiss, that did not miss.
The train was crowded, but she felt alone.
Found a seat, for the long journey home.
She prayed for his safe return.
Wrote letters as the candle burned.
IT WAS-------LOVE!
