Ear darling, i won't be coming home
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
Dear darling, i won't be coming home
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
Though i wish with all my heart that i was on my way
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
But dear darling, my country needs me now
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
And i couldn't tell them no, when they asked me to stay
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)

Oh i love you and i miss you
And i long to hold you in my arms again
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
Kiss our young one and tell him i miss him too
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
But i've got to stick it through till the end
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)

Dear darling, i'm praying for the day
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
We can see a peaceful world like we've never known
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
When our son won't have to fight and he'll never have to write
(aah - aah - aah - aah)
Dear darling, i won't be coming home
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
Dear darling, i won't be coming home
(ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
