Soldiers Don't Cry When They Say Goodbye
Soldiers Don’t Cry When They Say Goodbye
Hush little baby.
Don’t you cry.
Mama’s gonna’ sing you a lullaby.
Hush little baby.
Dry your eye.
Things will be fine in the sweet bye and bye.
Soldiers don’t cry,
When they Say Goodbye.
They can look their Mamas in the eye.
They may act proud or even shy.
They may smile and even sigh.
They’ll hug and kiss while parents cry.
“I’ll be fine”, he tries to lie.
He straightens his hat and tightens his tie.
He walks away, then turns, and waves goodbye.
“Can I get you anything?” asks the Stewardess, passing by.
“Yes Ma’am, coffee please. And- some humble pie.”
The plane continues to lift its nose in the sky.
The Soldier must have gotten his Mama’s tears in his eye.
Cause everybody knows, a soldier doesn’t cry!
Mama. Oh Mama!
Don’t you cry.
I’m gonna’ sing you a lullaby.
Mama. Oh Mama!
Dry your eye.
Things will be fine in the sweet bye and bye.
