| A man takes off from an airfield
|
| And he’s a’soaring very far from home
|
| 'cause he flies a B-17 straight through the sky
|
| He’s homesick and he knows
|
| It’ll be a long time till he’s done
|
| And he’s got a beautiful girl
|
| Waiting at home
|
| He opens up a letter from her. |
| She writes
|
| Here’s a color picture of me
|
| (a pretty picture)
|
| Just head towards my blue eyes
|
| When you’re finding your way back to me
|
| Well
|
| That’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll
|
| That’ll be the way home
|
| Yes
|
| That’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll
|
| That’ll be the way home
|
| Straight through the sky
|
| Headed towards her blue eyes
|
| A lieutenant of the Navy
|
| Took his very first steps today
|
| Onto the ship that would become his new home
|
| He and his wife
|
| Had shared a very special goodbye
|
| When they kissed in the night underneath
|
| A star of their own
|
| As the lieutenant gazed up
|
| And saw their star shining bright
|
| (oh so bright)
|
| He knew it would guide him home
|
| When the time was right
|
| Well
|
| That’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll
|
| That’ll be the way home
|
| Yes
|
| That’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll
|
| That’ll be the way home
|
| Starin' into the night
|
| Keeping their star in sight
|
| All you infantry men and you riveting gals
|
| Don’t ever need to give up hope
|
| All you doctors, and nurses, and engineers
|
| Need not worry for long
|
| If we all look towards what we miss most
|
| And keep that drive in our heart
|
| Well
|
| That’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll
|
| That’ll be the way home
|
| Yes
|
| That’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll that’ll
|
| That’ll be the way home |
