Young love that stretched across a couple hundred miles,
Letter after letter filled with heartfilled thought.
Promises of one day walking down the aisle
But for now a picture and a call is all you got.
The war is almost over,
Then he's Carolina-bound.
Each second feels like a day,
When his heart's a world away
Let no secret come between us.
Now he stands aboard the plane
True love waits a a day away.
And then she'll run to meet him.
As a crowd gathers at the church where they were raised
Sunshine poured through the old glass panes
Something old, something borrowed, something blue.
And the promise of a heart that always will be true.
The music starts to play
As his heart begins to race.
Each second feels like a day,
When his heart's a world away
No dream could match her beauty.
Now he stands to take her hand
Ain't nothing stands between them.
Chilly winds swept the Carolina hills
Coldest winter season there had ever been
Her hands began to tremble and her face grew pale
Nothing he could do could turn her fate around
Now she sleeps beneath the snow
She left him here alone
Each second feels like a day
When his heart's a world a way,
But the dreams of her stay with him
Until he sees her new again
Waiting at the gates ahead
And then he'll run to meet her.
