The wind blows her Carmel Valley hair
She sees me longing for her there
Oh but, I’m a soldier with a quiet heart
I’m the boy at the end of that night
Who’ll do all he can to treat her right
Who needs a little bit of a kick start
Like sincere words she won’t regret
A soothing smile taking on the bet
I’d kiss her back as we stand at her door
I hope she feels the same as me, oh
And if she does, I hope to see, and
Hear her say she’ll miss me when I go to war
It’s different now, guys are cruel, they’ll
Adore you in private, ignore you in school, and
don’t realize girls don’t like those games
They act like macho guys with their pals
Then are intimidated by the aggressive gals
On the phone, they mix up all their names
But she’s known me all those years
And I’ve never brought her to tears
Oh, I don’t want to see her break and cry
I hope she knows I want to be there, when
She’s feeling nobody shows they care
I’ll do what it takes, and she’ll know why
Those sincere words she won’t regret
That soothing smile taking on the bet
I’d kiss her back as we stand at her door
I hope she knows I’ll always feel the same and
dream of the day when she takes my name
And overjoyed when I come back from the war
So overjoyed when I come home from the war
So overjoyed when I come home from the war
For her husband, the quiet hearted soldier
