Josh Abbott Band - Let My Tears Be Still Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • My name is Lieutenant Colonel William Todd.
  • I flew the 101st Airborne in ’42.
  • You may think that you’ve met veterans like me before,
  • but you don’t have a clue.
  • Verse 2
  • I flew Korea in the war you probably forgot.
  • I gave 40 years of damn near all I got.
  • I watched some of my closest friends die on foreign land.
  • I still hear their screams at night.
  • Chorus
  • So don’t you wipe away my tears.
  • I’ve earned them through all the years.
  • Just let ‘em roll down like a stream upon a hill.
  • Let my tears be still.
  • Verse 3
  • I met Jean Ann in a photograph in ’44.
  • I swore she’d be the girl to take my last name.
  • 52 years passed til the Lord took her away,
  • but I still see Jean everyday.
  • Verse 4
  • At the end of my rope as I lay here in this bed.
  • Thoughts and prayers of my family circle through my head.
  • I pray when the Lord opens up the pearly gates wide
  • that I’ll see my Jean standing there in the light.
