Lyrics
ONE OF THESE DAYS (Soldier’s Song)
©David Goldman/WORLDWAVE MUSIC (ASCAP)
I am a soldier in my prime
I die so long before my time
Oh it’s so hard to say goodbye
I leave this world of hell and flames with a million memories in shattered frames
With one more ocean left to cross, I think of you and all I have lost
One of these days, one of these days,
I’ll see you, one of these days
I am but one of many more
Who’s fallen on a distant shore
They say all’s fair in love and war
Baby someday I'll come flying your way,
and land in your world and kiss you awake
One sweet morning, we’ll love again,
I'll rush through your heart
like a river of crimson rain
One of these days, one of these days,
I’ll see you, one of these days
I've been dreaming you forever
I can’t say no, I can’t say never
In these last minutes,
You’re here beside me,
So close beside, beside me
One of these days, one of these days,
I’ll see you, one of these days
I die so long before my time
I leave my whole world behind
Please don’t forget me by and by.....
One of these days, one of these days,
I’ll see you, one of these days
Na, na na...........
