When I Get Back

Performed by Kay Kellum
Recorded c. 1950
Written by Kay Kellum

Many months have come and gone sine I was called from home
To fight for the Red, White and Blue
Till the day when I return, for you sweetheart I'll yearn
I'll keep fighting for my country and you

Down to lover's lane once more we'll stroll, dear
Just like we did in days gone by
Would my kisses mean the same, would we sing the sweet refrain
Would she tell me that you still care?

Will your love still be for me when I get back from oversea
Will you love me forever, my darlin'?
Will you care to hold me tight under a starry night?
Will you love me like you used to do?

Down to lover's lane once more we'll stroll, dear
Just like we did in days gone by
Would my kisses mean the same, would we sing the sweet refrain
Would she tell me that you still care?

This cruel war will surely end so I can come back home again
Every night I see you in my dreams, my darlin'
I just hope that you're as true as you were when I left you
And your love will always be just for me

Down to lover's lane once more we'll stroll, dear
Just like we did in days gone by
Would my kisses mean the same, would we sing the sweet refrain
Would she tell me that you still care?
