Annotation
"Long Live Our Love" (Red Bird Records # RB 10-048) - teen-pop, soldier boy song. "When Johnny comes marching home again, hooray, hurrah Long live our love...here's a toast to happiness, long live our love When we were childhood sweethearts we had made a simple vow We vowed to love each other and I know we wont stop now... But somethings come between us and its not another girl But alot of people need you, there is trouble in the world It's the fighting that has come between us, and its Taken you far far away, but please don't wonder if I'll be faithful You're in my heart both night and day, so, darling, I send my love to you While you are fighting overseas and, I know one day, if we are lucky God will send you back to me, long live our love, long live our happiness"
