Joshua

Joshua was a good man,
he always led an easy life
and on this day of reflection,
he came home and he turned to his wife
He said, “My baby, my darling you know that
I’ve always been good to you.
And know I’ll always love you… with all my heart.”

He went upstairs to his newborn child,
he nearly shed a tear.
Looked upon this innocent face
who had never known fear
He said, “My baby, my darling I hope life
is always good to you.
And know I’ll always love you… with all my heart.”

He turned around with a sad look on his face
and said, “I’m leavin’ here tomorrow.
They’re sending me off to a far away place,
a land filled with sorrow.
So pray for me that when this war is done,
I may come home to my wife and son.
‘Cause I’ll always love you… with all my heart”

Joshua was a good man,
he tried to lead an easy life
and on the day before he died,
he wrote home to his wife
He said, “My baby, my darling I know now
I’m fighting for you.
And know I’ll always love you… with all my heart.”
