Let My Tears Be Still |
| My name is Lieutenant Colonel William Todd |
| I flew the 101st Airborne in '42 |
| You may think that you’ve met veterans like me before |
| But you don’t have a clue |
| I flew Korea in the war you probably forgot |
| I gave 40 years of damn near all I got |
| I watched some of my closest friends die on foreign land |
| I still hear their screams at night |
| So don’t you wipe away my tears |
| I’ve earned them through all the years |
| Just let 'em roll down like a stream upon a hill |
| Let my tears be still |
| I met Jean Ann in a photograph in '44 |
| I swore she’d be the girl to take my last name |
| 52 years passed til the Lord took her away |
| But I still see Jean everyday |
| At the end of my rope as I lay here in this bed |
| Thoughts and prayers of my family circle through my head |
| I pray when the Lord opens up the pearly gates wide |
| That I’ll see my Jean standing there in the light |
