[Richard A Thackeray]

A couple of verses

So they went down, and they sat on the pier
He said, "I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care
I've got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?"

Never more to be alone when the letter said
"A soldier's coming home"

So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love, and all of the things he was so scared of
He said, "When it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don't worry, but I won't be able to write for awhile"

I am interpreting 'letters' in its alphabetical sense.

I loved the words you sent to me, but that was chuffing yesterday.

Stunning 'Billy Bragg' song.......................Probably made him more money than his own version.

I've played this one a few times. Arranged by Neal Hefti, who's most famous for... the Batman theme. I don't think Sinatra's voice was ever better than here.
