《G.I. Joe And Lillie》歌词

[00:00:00] GI Joe And Lillie - The Oak Ridge Boys

[00:00:07] He was a streetwise kid from Philly

[00:00:10] Just 19 in '44

[00:00:13] Joined up in Uncle's army

[00:00:16] Hit the beach and fought a war

[00:00:19] A decorated hero

[00:00:22] He never talks about those days

[00:00:26] Because of guys like G I Joe our country's free today

[00:00:34] She was Woman's Army corp

[00:00:36] Raised in Carolina girl

[00:00:39] Escorting wounded young men home

[00:00:43] From a burning hell on Earth

[00:00:46] The first time that she saw him

[00:00:49] He was broken and alone

[00:00:53] Lillie fell in love that day

[00:00:56] When he winked and said Hello

[00:01:01] And Lillie sang this song to G I Joe

[00:01:07] Let me hold you in my arms handsome soldier

[00:01:17] Take my hand for we are going home today

[00:01:27] Let me kiss away your tears

[00:01:33] Let me pray away your fears

[00:01:37] I'll stay here with you

[00:01:40] Till they carry us away

[00:01:48] They married in the spring

[00:01:50] All dressed up in army green

[00:01:54] Took out a loan bought a home

[00:01:57] Raised a family

[00:02:00] The war returned to G I Joe in 1965

[00:02:06] The old wounds came back to haunt him

[00:02:10] But Lillie's love kept him alive

[00:02:14] Now they're living in a veteran's home

[00:02:17] They've both grown old and gray

[00:02:20] The medals earned so long ago

[00:02:23] Now hang there in a case

[00:02:27] Sometimes she finds him weeping

[00:02:31] As he lay there in his bed

[00:02:34] The distant sounds of battle

[00:02:37] Still echo in his head

[00:02:42] And Lillie sings this song to G I Joe

[00:02:49] Let me hold you in my arms handsome soldier

[00:02:59] Take my hand for we are going home today

[00:03:09] Let me kiss away your tears

[00:03:15] Let me pray away your fears

[00:03:20] I'll stay here with you

[00:03:23] Till they carry us away

[00:03:31] Some day they'll rest in Arlington

[00:03:33] 'Neath the red the white and blue

[00:03:36] Safe in the arms of Jesus

[00:03:39] When their journey here is through

[00:03:42] An American love story

[00:03:45] Not unlike a lot of others

[00:03:48] Except that G I Joe and Lillie

[00:03:51] Is my father and my mother
