| There’s a white cross tonight on Okinawa
|
| Under skies of blue worldly cares are through
|
| High above waves the old star-spangled banner
|
| In his memory she’ll be true
|
| Some mother’s heart knows full sorrow
|
| Silently her prayers cross the foam
|
| There’s a white cross tonight on Okinawa
|
| And a gold star in some mother’s home
|
| There’s a white cross tonight on Okinawa

|
| Some mother’s heart knows full sorrow
|
| Silently her prayers cross the foam
|
| There’s a white cross tonight on Okinawa
|
| And a gold star in some mother’s home |
