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 / 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
