1945

[sarralynsalmalin]

Chorus:

A song of praise
A shout of joy
In every language known;
For today the war is ended
And all our boys come home.

1. Five long years its been now
Since our boys sailed over the sea;
Five long years of love and loss
And overwhelming grief.

But the news comes today [C]

2. Week by week and day by day
The wonderous day draws near;
Parents, siblings, lovers, friends
Your soldiers'll soon be here.

For the news came that day [C]

3. Crowds are swelling, flags are waving
Out ring triumphant cheers;
But the revelry only covers up
The worries and the fears.

Even though the news came that day [C]

4. Alone amidst the masses
Eyes searching for the one;
Hoping, praying that somehow
He'd find his way home --

5. A quiet voice, 'excuse me, ma'am,'
Turning away in despair;
To meet that pair of blue-grey eyes
And dark unruly hair.

As the news echoes once more [C]

And all our boys come home

It is a song, but it's also about war, so I wasn't really sure where to put it. Hopefully this works
