Time’s come now at last
Let all that’s passed be past
You’ve been wandering, lost in a dream
Only a dream
I’ll watch over you
I’ll always watch over you
Down that winding lane I stand
Near the sun kissed fields of home
There’s hope and there is joy
There’s love for the soldier-boy
All he has to do is let it go
Turn around and come home
The shadows come and gone
Rise now and greet the dawn
Let the memories of sorrow and fear
Fall away
There’s hope and there is joy
There’s love for the soldier-boy
All he has to do is let it go
Turn around and come home
There's a girl who’s waiting just for you
But you can’t bring the darkness with you
Let it go, just leave it all behind
Oh, the rushing streams and skies of blue
Oh, the fields of summer call to you
Oh, the rushing streams and skies of blue
There are scars
Some heal, some don’t
And people stare but that can’t bring you down
And somedays you’ll be laughing and other times you won’t
But either way the sun’s still shining
I hear distant drums
Rumors of war yet to come
Come back to me, get some rest while you can
And smile, smile again
There’s hope and there’s joy
There’s love for the soldier-boy
All he has to do is let it go
Turn around and come home
I’m staying right here where I am
I’m never gonna leave
Please my love, forget I ever lived
I’m dead
Dead and gone
