Now it was just the other day
These are the words i heard a soldier sing
He said "tell my babe

To keep a light in the window
Till i come home till i come home"


Well i don't know
How long or how soon
Maybe tomorrow it may be never

Or maybe this afternoon

Somebody tell my baby

To please keep a light keep a light
Keep a light in the window
Till i come home home home


Now darlin' you know
How much i need you

You see i been gone
So long so long


But there's nothing
Will ever change the way i feel
I'm just asking you to hold on baby

Please hold on listen

I'm risking my life every day

To end this fight
But deep down inside my soul right now
I believe i know i said i know this cause is right


I just want you baby
Please keep a light

Keep a light burning
In the window
Till i till i till i till i till i come on home again
