Dear darling, I won't be coming home (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Dear darling, I won't be coming home (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Though I wish with all my heart that I was on my way (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) But dear darling, my country needs me now (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) And I couldn't tell them no, when they asked me to stay (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh I love you and I miss you And I long to hold you in my arms again (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Kiss our young one and tell him I miss him too (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) But I've got to stick it through till the end (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Dear darling, I'm praying for the day (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) We can see a peaceful world like we've never known (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) When our son won't have to fight and he'll never have to write (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Dear darling, I won't be coming home (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Dear darling, I won't be coming home (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
