Bury it with johnny lyrics

Song : Bury it with johnny
 
Johnny went off to fight the war.They had no idea
what lied in store.Off to fight from some unknown
shore.To help his country settle the
score.Elizabeth was left behind.The only true
love he'd ever find.She said I'll wait right here
for you.I'll stay loyal and see you
through.Elizabeth was good with a pen.She would
write Johnny everynow and again.But Johnny could
never capturethe words.To tell her how much she
meant to him.She walked down to the post office
today.Her stomach quivering with so much to
say.Hello Johnny, I write with good news.Johnny,
we have a baby on the way.The letter should be
reaching Johnny soon.We believe the clock read
five past noon.Well dressed men came to the
door.Elizabeth fell crying and landed on the
floor.The sun today will never rise.People
gathered today to cry their eyes.The folded flag
was presented by themen.Elizabeth addressed the
menand rose again.She said.This flag may
represent freedom,It maybe its a symbol of this
war.You can bury it with Johnny, because to us he
was fighting for so much more.Two weeks went by,
they felt like years.Many Kleenex tossed away
theywere all drenched in tears.The mailman came
and knocked on the door.He said, "Hello sweety,
there is justone more."He didn't stop loving her
that day.Johnny finally found the pen.He told her
all he had to say.He told Elizabeth, "I can't wait
to meet our baby and see yourbeautiful face
again."
