Searching For a Soldier's Grave
You ask me, stranger, why I made this journey
Why I crossed three thousand miles of rolling waves
Like many others, my darling was killed in action
So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I will find him resting
So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave
When I come to the place where he's sleeping
I know it will cause more heartache inside
But I long to be by his side once more and tell him
Tell him that I love him, that I will until I die
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I will find him resting
So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave
Beside each cross mark, here all around me
I'll kneel down and gladly say a prayer
For all the loved ones back home across the ocean
Whose heart, like mine, is buried over here
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I will find him resting
So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave
Why I crossed three thousand miles of rolling waves
Like many others, my darling was killed in action
So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I will find him resting
So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave
When I come to the place where he's sleeping
I know it will cause more heartache inside
But I long to be by his side once more and tell him
Tell him that I love him, that I will until I die
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I will find him resting
So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave
Beside each cross mark, here all around me
I'll kneel down and gladly say a prayer
For all the loved ones back home across the ocean
Whose heart, like mine, is buried over here
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I will find him resting
So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave
