I've found these words ... not sure if they are what you want but no luck on the chords.

SOLDIER'S SWEETHEART

She was a soldier's sweetheart,
Pure as the morning dew,
Home from the war to wed her
Hastened her lover true.

Back to the field of conflict,
Duty bids him go,
Kissing his bride, he whispers:
"Soldiers must fight, you know."

CHORUS: "'Tis only a sad sweet memory,
Darling, of bygone years,
Only a dream of you, dear,
Kissing away my tears."

"A soldier's wife must not weep," you say,
But how can my heart be light?
'Tis only a sad sweet memory,
Darling of you, tonight."

There came a tender message
Saying his love was true,
Borne by a wounded comrade,
These were his words to you:

"For my dear Flag and Freedom,
Love, I gave my life,
Shed not a tear, remember,
You are a soldier's wife."

"Popular" just after World War I.
