I am flying home from Frankfurt, I am sitting next to LeslieIn the Air Force stationed overseas for 57 daysFueling US airplanes that had stopped off in BulgariaAnd now she's headed home to see her babiesAcross the aisle Marines are talking, I turn my head, they're flashingDocuments of service, words like purple by their namesThe movie screen's a video of Elvis Presley's daughterSinging something about Memphis while a car goes up in flamesI'm curious to know what Leslie thinks about the warBut all she talks about is going home, she's going homeShe's looking forwardI'm looking sidewaysJust spent a week in Germany, I hadda change my dietThere were many late night conversations, cigarettes, and beerPlaying music, foreign films, Iraq and what the GermansThought about the U.S. going over thereI look around, Leslie's got some headphones and a CDHer head is swaying side to side, the cover's in her lap"Moonlight Piano Favorites," she starts to snap her fingersAnd I just stop and take a look at thatCan you picture Leslie as her thumb and fingers snapLetras de cancionesIf these "Moonlight Piano Favorites" turn a soldier into thatThen I'm sending off some headphones to leaders everywhereWith some "Moonlight Piano Favorites"And a prayer From Letras Mania
