Yours Truly Lyrics

My dearest

I write to you

From the trenches

On the front lines

The past few months

I have marched many miles

An indecisive

Amount of time

I have watched friends die

I have seen foes

Laid face first

Down in the dirt

And I long forgot the feeling

Of grass or the feeling

Of your touch

Which is worse

I think about the times

We spent in the meadows

Just watching

Your hair in the wind

I think about our son

I think about our daughter

How I might

Never see them again

My nights are spent

Laying down in the trench

Looking up

At the Starlight

How the stars up above

Resemble your eyes

Look down

Upon me every night

My dearest I don't know

When the war will end

But I met the enemy

Face to face

Last Christmas we all decided

To lay down our arms and laugh

Even share

An embrace

They are men just like me

And all I can think

Is they have a family

Back home

That most like me

Will never see again

My dear

I am slowly losing hope

Losing hope

Losing hope

Losing hope

Yours truly

Yours truly

Yours truly

This letter I write is probably

The same as many of my comrades or foes

The suffering we have all endured we all share

We're the only ones who know

I hope I can look into your eyes once again

But they're sending us to another line

A town called Ypre another line of trench

I hope this will be the last time

Yours truly
