[Intro] I was a prisoner of war, and this is one of the letters That I wrote home to my girlfriend Just a little seranade from the boys, and I'm gonna Read it to you
[Verse 1] I wants to know what you're doin' tonight Wish I could see if everything is alright And hold you long in my arms until bright Your smiling face would make a wonderful sight I want to be with you, love with you, eat with you Sleep with you, stay with you all of my life
[Verse 2] I loved you darlin' when you's only sixteen You was the sweetest thing to enter my dream When we're together then my life is fulfilled To love you darling I know I always will I wants to be with you, love with you, eat with you Sleep with you all of my life
[Verse 3] I close my letter but never my love Please send a prayer to the heaven above To see me home to you safe and sound The day that I leave the prisoner ground I want to be with you, love with you, eat with you Sleep with you all of my life
