"'Til You Return" "Now you are gone your love moves on Waiting for you I cannot do I cried each night for you Each day I'll pray for you 'Til you return to me When you were here my love was so dear Now you are away, what can I say I cried each night for you Each day I will pray for you 'Til you return to me Days are so long, nights never end There is no sun"

Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
Lyrics
English: How long, how long Vietnam? / How long must the war go on?... / Wars are lost and wars are one / Lives are given / Everyone is wondering, when will it end?... / Soldier fight and die / So we folks at home may be safe and free / But how long, how long Vietnam? / How long must the war go on?... / Peace our hearts keep yearning for
