D Bm Em A
Lonely soldier walking on a late pass
G D A D
Trying to find some comfort in the city night
D Bm Em A
Then he saw her sitting in a corner
G D A D
Saw her eyes were smiling at him through the candle light
G Bm G A D
And she looked just like the girl that had walked through his dream
G Bm G A
She truly had the bluest eyes he'd ever seen

Far away to carry on the cruel war

No one to tell her that he fought and fell there
