A little boy tugged gently at a soldier's khaki sleeve He says forgive me mister but you've been across the sea I see the purple heart you wear it tells what you've been through I thought Perhaps you'd seen my dad as he's a soldier too Did you see my daddy mister soldier When you over there? I thought perhaps by chance You met him there in France Or somewhere across the sea It's been so long since daddy went away My mommy longs for him both night and day I know it'd make her glad if you had seen my dad Have you seen my daddy over there? The soldier's eyes grew misty as he watched the boy's face For he recalled a memory that time can not erase A buddy lost in action, the best pal he ever had Till death he carried o'r his heart a picture of this lad Did you see my daddy mister soldier When you were fighting over there? I thought perhaps by chance You met him there in France Or somewhere over there across the sea It's been so long since daddy went away My mommy longs for him both night and day I know it would make her glad if you had seen my dad Did you see my daddy over there?
