Little Soldier

Hello

A telephone tells me that it won't be long now

Goodbye

Don't you cry 'cause I need you to be strong now

Soon they'll come and give the order

I hope we'll meet across the border

Love, lay your head on my weary shoulder

I can hear those battle drums

Love, say a prayer for your little soldier

If tomorrow never comes, no, no

Hi-ho

I gotta go, gotta hurry 'cause time is a-wasting

So long

Please carry on pretending like nothing is changing

I try and pull myself together

I'll be with you, so please remember

Love, lay your head on my weary shoulder

I can hear those battle drums

Love, say a prayer for your little soldier

If tomorrow never comes

I'm going away

I'm going away

I'm going away and it won't be long

I'm already gone, I'm facing the great unknown

On my own, here I go

Hold me closer 'til this is over then

Come lay your head on my weary shoulder

I can hear those battle drums

Love, say a prayer for your little soldier

If tomorrow never comes, no

If tomorrow never

Come lay your head on my weary shoulder

I can hear the battle drums

Love, say a prayer for your little soldier

If tomorrow never comes
