If I Could Have My Way

If I ever cry, a goodbye tear in a solider's eye
It's strange kind of world that we live in
Every time the cannons roar there's a young man lives no more
And it's sad to destroy the life we're given.
Every time the cannons roar there's a young man lives no more
And it's sad to destroy the life we're given.
If I could have my way, every man that's here today
Would look back, turn around and write for more
There'd be someone waiting there with your ribbon in her hair
And a love that is warm and his alone
There'd be someone waiting there with your ribbon in her hair
And a love that is warm and yours alone
Ohhhh, If I could have my way, every man that's here today
Would look back, turn around and write for more
There'd be someone waiting there with your ribbon in her hair
And a love that is warm and his alone
There'll be someone waiting there with your ribbon in her hair
And a love that is warm and yours alone
If I could have my way, every man that's here today
Would look back, turn around and write for more
There'd be someone waiting there with your ribbon in her hair
And a love that is yours and yours alone
There'd be someone waiting there with your ribbon in her hair
And a love that is yours and yours alone
If I could have my way, every man that's here today
Would look back, turn around and write for more
There'll be someone waiting there with your ribbon in her hair
And a love that is yours and yours alone
