Till They Came Home

Times were hard but they were fun in 1941

The year that Jim and Catherine fell in love

They were graduating college, their heads were full of knowledge

And visions of taking on the world

But Uncle Sam and those Pearl Harbor bombs

Pulled Jim away from Catherine's armsThen along came Vietnam in 1961

The year that Bob and Mandy said, "I do"

They bought a house outside the city

Everything was sitting pretty

But again old Uncle Sam said, "I need you

Bob said, "Mandy, honey I'll be back

Don't you worry, you can count on that"And as the headlines rolled, every mother prayed

Every father laid awake the whole night through

Every brother bragged, every sister cried

Every hometown across this land held on

Till they came homeTimes were hard but they were fun in 1991

The year that John and Sally said goodbye

He held two kids in his arms as she left for desert storm

John could see the sadness in her eyes

He watched her sail away navy blue

Up on the quarter deck in full saluteAnd as the headlines rolled, every mother prayed

Every father laid awake the whole night through

Every brother bragged, every sister cried

Every hometown across this land held on

Till they came homeSome came home as heroes

Proud to be back

Some came home as heroes

Covered with the flagAnd as the headlines rolled, every mother prayed

Every father laid awake the whole night through

Every brother bragged, every sister cried

Every hometown across this land held on

Till they came homeEvery hometown across this land holds on

Till they came home
