Lyrics
English: I'm coming home to you after my job is through / And Vietnam will be a faded memory / I'm coming home to stay, it's going to be that way / Our love was meant to be, please my love wait for me / Someday you'll know how our love will grow / When they say it's all over here / Let our hearts ring out, oh let us sing and shout / We have the right to feel we can love for real / Our love will stay so real...and you'll be mine / Just wait and see, just wait and see
