Colleen Lovett - Freckle-Faced Soldier

Album : Freckle-Faced Soldier/Go Go Girl . 1966 작사/작곡 : Lyrics : Oh, oh, oh, wooh, wooh Just a freckle faced solider Just eighteen old or So young, yes, so young boy leaving home to fight a war I’ll never forget that night My baby left on a midnight flight No longer just a teenage guy But a soldier telling his sweetheart, “Goodbye“ He said,“Don’t cry, I’ll come back We’ll have time to do what we want to do Oh, My, if I only known then but our days so few Just a freckle faced soldier oh, oh, oh, wooh, wooh Today his first letter from Vietnam came It looked like a teardrop had fallen beside my name He said “Honey, I’m proud I’m wearing this army coat even if I am not quite old enough to vote Stay calm mom while she’s still awake Tell her I almost smell the bread she used to bake Well, the soldier said, “Pullout“ I’ll write tomorrow too Until then, I love you... Just a freckle faced soldier. Just eighteen old or So young, yes, so young boy leaving home to fight a war Well, tomorrow passed into days and days into weeks on end And you know that boy Well, he never wrote again They sent a medal of honor to his mom For all of his bravery I know she wanted to keep it, But you know, she gave that medal to me I wear it on my heart now cause it is the closest place to heaven and that’s where he lives now. Yes they called him a man, a very brave man But he was really just a boy Just a freckle faced soldier
