"Letters From Vietnam" Goodbye my love The country is in need of me And I heard there were signs for war So I'm going overseas So don't cry my love The skies above will cry for you And I'll be safe so hopefully I'll come back home for you Yeah, yeah So please Tell me it's not true After all the love I've given You found someone new And oh, of all the things I've seen This has got to be, got to be the greatest tragedy Oh you, you let it all slip away But soon you'll find Soon you'll find (yeah) What you can't replace I gave away my love That I promised you I would keep A thousand deaths I died that day When two became one A greater force pulled you away So I got on my knees and begged The silence replaced my tears So goodbye, my love August 1, 1965 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah So please Tell me it's not true After all the love I've given You found someone new And oh, of all the things I've seen This has got to be, got to be the greatest tragedy Oh you, you let it all slip away But soon you'll find Soon you'll find, yeah What you can't replace Yeah Goodbye my love As I bid farewell to thee All is fair in love and war So I'm going overseas
