Such a *beautiful* song about a man called Harry Stone, very moving, and a true story. Not surprised the tears aren't far away, Ron, each time you hear that one, and yes, I think it will most certainly stand that test of time you were talking about.

Randall Williams - 'I Will Come For You' - Lyrics and Listen

"I will come for you" by Randall Williams

Harry stone was a soldier in the spring of '44,
And harry loved a woman who would never be his wife.
He met her in a restaurant in a quiet town in belgium.
She liked his sweet demeanor, and so she took him home.
The summer months passed quickly in the sweetness of their loving.
It took away their longing, and his memories of the fight.
But with autumn came the orders - the troops were moving onward.
With teary eyes and bitter smiles, he swore that he'd return:

"I will come for you. I will be your husband. we will be a family, and we will share our lives."

Each week he wrote her letters and prayed that he'd hear word -
Of the child she carried and of her life at home.
Fall of '44, he'd gone back to pittsburgh. still he wrote her letters,
But she never did respond.

"I will come for you. I will be your husband. we will be a family, and we will share our lives."

In august '46, he met another woman.
They would raise a family of three daughters in their home.
And he was almost eighty that winter afternoon,
When he heard a soft french voice on the telephone:

"Mr. stone? I'm your daughter. Grandma hid the letters -
And never told my mother that you were still alive.
And mother never told me about the man who is my father.
I never read your letters untill after she had died."

"Can I come to you? can I be your daughter? Can we be a family, and can we share our lives?"

Can you imagine how he felt, so far towards the end of his life, to have found her, at last..
