At Mail Call Today

At mail call today, love
Your last letter came
I just stood there smiling
'Til they called my name
As I read it over
The sky turned to gray
And tears dimmed my eyes, love
At mail call today

I can't understand, love
What's happened to you
The day that I sailed, love
You said you'd be true
And now it's all over
What more can I say?
My poor heart was broken
At mail call today

I've slept in the foxhole
'Mid shot and shell
I'm telling you now, love
It's worse than all hell
I thought you would wait, love
While I was away
But my castle tumbled
At mail call today

I hope you'll be happy
With somebody new
But always remember
My heart beats for you
Good luck and God bless you
Wherever you stray
The world for me ended
At mail call today
