Searching For You, Buddy

Performed by Red River Dave
Recorded 1954
Written by Dave McEnery

Dearest buddy, I have carried on without you
But I miss you night and day, somehow, it seems
I have never learned the truth, oh pal, about you
I keep searching for you buddy, in my dreams
I was wounded in the very first of battles
They all said you were the bravest 'til the end
With a victory, Uncle Sam had lost a hero
While I lost my dearest and most precious friend

Dearest buddy, I have searched the service over
You are listed "missing", I know what that means
Though I lost you here on Earth, somewhere I'll find you
I keep searching for you buddy, in my dreams

You remember how we talked about our future?
I've a wife now and a little family too
Yes I told them how you saved my life, dear buddy
And we named our little soldier after you
With the passing years it's almost all forgotten
How we fought and died 'mid unfamiliar scenes
'Til me meet someday, old pal, in Valhalla
I'll keep searching for you, buddy, in my dreams
