Title suggested by PFC Sammy Mysels; Written by Nelson Cogane, Lee David, Dick Robertson

They pinned a purple heart on a soldier's chest
A brave and noble lad who had done his best
And as he lay there resting on his bed
He beckoned to his nurse and softly said,

[chorus]
"Send This Purple Heart To My Sweetheart
Tell her that I'll soon be comin' home
Let my darlin' know I was wounded
While fightin' for our flag across the foam
Tell her to keep right on smiling
And mention that she's always on my mind
Send This Purple Heart To My Sweetheart
To keep beside the heart I left behind"

[repeat chorus]
