Thread Name: Lyr Req: Song about a veteran
Subject: Lyr Req: Song about a veteran
I can't remember the name of the song or who it was originally recorded by (maybe Fred Neal in the late 60's) but the song begins something like this:

She was a young girl,
He wasn't much older.
She (da da da )
He was a soldier.
Then the song goes on to talk about the relationship and desires after WW2.
"A home in the suburbs, if they could learn to do without"
A great song but I just can't remember much about it. Would like to be able to sing and play the whole thing.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
Thanks!
