When The War Is Over |
He went away to fight the war |
But, he doesn’t want to anymore |
He left his family all alone |
Now, he can’t wait to get back home |
(He can’t wait to get back home) |
He hopes that peace will come one day |
So, he can come back home and stay |
Away from all the guns and some |
Reunited, with his folk |
(Reunited, with his folk) |
And, when the war is over |
When the soldiers all come home |
We’ll throw the greatest party |
The world has ever known |
Oh, when the war is over |
When the soldiers all come home |
We’ll sit around the fireside |
And leave the world alone |
A telegram lies on the floor |
His wife waits by the kitchen door |
Her face is pressed against the glass |
She waits for marching feet to pass |
(Waits for marching feet to pass) |
A little boy, stands at her knee |
He’s waiting there excitedly |
For the daddy that he’s never known |
And the years he was away from home |
(Years he was away from home) |
And, when the war is over |
When the soldiers all come home |
We’ll throw the greatest party |
The world has ever known |
Oh, when the war is over |
When the soldiers all come home |
We’ll sit around the fireside |
And leave the world alone |
(When the war is over) When the war is over |
(All the soldiers all come home) All the soldiers all come home |
You know that we’ll (Sit around the fire side) Sit around the fireside |
And leave the world alone |
When the war is over… |
We’ll leave the world alone… |
