Who called you pretty.
He'd walk every day, couple miles out of his way,
To hold your hand and keep you company.
Your mama said "Don't call it love at 14",
But sittin' on that front porch swing..
He gave you his picture in a locket,
That you wore around your neck,
Left it right beside your heart,
So you would not forget..
The way it felt when he held your hand,
And you swore that you would never take it off,
And the butterflies you felt said it all,
You were falling for the boy inside your locket..
Back in '43, the brown-eyed boy went overseas,
And had to leave town for a little while.
He swore he'd marry you
As soon as the war was through,
You would be his wife.
Standing in the pouring rain..
You cried as you watched him ride away.
But everyday
You had his picture in a locket.
That you wore around your neck,
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget..
The way his kiss tasted on your lips,
And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone,
And you prayed that God would bring him safely home,
'Cause you made a promise..
To the boy inside your locket.
Oh, 60 years you two had together,
But he's been gone for a couple now.
And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember,
But I've been writing all your memories down..
And I stopped by today,
To read a couple pages.
Grandma, you sure look pretty,
And you smiled that smile..
The one I haven't seen in quite a while.
And you said to me, 1 want you to keep..
His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck,
The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget.
The greatest love and the greatest man I’ve ever known..
But it's gettin' time for me to head on home.
She said, that brown-eyed boy is waiting,
And I don’t want to keep him long,
Heaven is calling.
And she said, my heart is longing..
For the boy inside your locket..
^Made me cry. Beautiful. :3
What's the name of the song ? :03
i'll stop at nothing to achieve freedom
“Life doesn't stop for anybody.”
