Way Back When I Was Ten
I remember way back when
I was nine and you were ten
Had a crush on you since then
And as I grew I loved you more
My handsome boy who lived next door
You took me to my very first dance
And all the girls gave you a glance
We started dating me and you
So much in love were we two
One day you heard your country call
My Marine so handsome and so tall
They sent you off to Vietnam
Lord keep him safe from harm
You lost your life to keep us free
Now no more you no more we
I have grown old never loved again
Loved only you since I was ten
