It Won't Be Long Now
© 2003 Lyrics by Bobbie Gallup ASCAP

He looked so handsome in his uniform
As they waited for his train
"I don't want to leave you but I must,
Though war's so hard to explain"
He kissed her trembling lips
In the softly falling rain
And he said...

CHORUS:
It won't be long now
It will only be awhile
It won't be long now
So think of me and smile
Because....it won't be long now

Each day dragged on forever
As she waited for some news
And as the weeks passed in silence
The fear inside her grew
One day the mailman rang her bell and said
"Here's a special one for you"
And it read....

CHORUS:
It won't be long now
It will only be awhile
It won't be long now
So think of me and smile
Because....it won't be long now

Two hearts overflowed with joy
On the day that they were wed
Asked the Lord to bless their love
As they climbed the stairs to bed
And a few short years later
She took his hand and softly said

CHORUS:
It won't be long now
It will only be awhile
It won't be long now
Please hold my hand and smile
Because....it won't be long now

BRIDGE:
The good Lord gives and He takes away
And sometimes He does both
Our turn on earth's but a finger snap
Before it's our time to go

The hill now takes her breath away
Her steps are hesitant and slow
But she comes to see him every Sunday
And puts a rose beside his stone
"You've waited for me a long time, dear
But there's something you should know"

CHORUS:
It won't be long now
It will only be awhile
It won't be long now
So think of me and smile
Because....it won't be long now
