That'll Be the Way Home

(Ahhs)

A man takes off from an airfield

and he's a'soaring very far from home

'cause he flies a B-17 straight through the sky

He's homesick and he knows

it'll be a long time till he's done

and he's got a beautiful girl

waiting at home

He opens up a letter from her. She writes,

here's a color picture of me

(a pretty picture)

Just head towards my blue eyes,

when you're finding your way back to me

Well,

That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll

That'll be the way home

Yes,

That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll

That'll be the way home

Straight through the sky

headed towards her blue eyes

A lieutenant of the Navy

took his very first steps today

Onto the ship that would become his new home

He and his wife

had shared a very special goodbye

when they kissed in the night underneath

a star of their own

As the lieutenant gazed up

and saw their star shining bright

(oh so bright)

He knew it would guide him home

when the time was right

Well,

That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll

That'll be the way home

Yes,

That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll

That'll be the way home

Starin' into the night

Keeping their star in sight

All you infantry men and you riveting gals

don't ever need to give up hope

all you doctors, and nurses, and engineers

need not worry for long

If we all look towards what we miss most

and keep that drive in our heart

Well,

That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll

That'll be the way home

Yes,

That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll

That'll be the way home
