Product Description
Part of Chery Prazak's "Military Trilogy," this is a love song for a far-away spouse.
Music, arrangement and production by Jon Burr
The lyrics:
Blossoms in a tulip tree, flood mem'ries to my mind,
For it was there beneath the flow'ring boughs, two hearts were intertwined.
Hearts carved upon a tree, for all the world to see.
With wedding bands, in a love so true, that it could not be denied,
And hearts carved upon a tree, to test the sands of time.
Never would he want to leave her, never would he want to go,
But he was a military man, a patriot to his soul.
He was a military man, a patriot through and through,
So off to duty he must go, to pay his patriotic due.
She would pray each night, for her military man,
And she would lift her head a little higher, when she heard a patriotic band.
And as the flag would pass, a little taller she would stand.
With hand upon her heart, she would be thinking, of her military man.
Through the years and through the fears, her heart was ever true.
At home she would stay, to do what she could do.
And thus it would always be, when her man was at her side,
That when the flag would pass, and the anthems strains would rise,
Together they would stand, with military pride.
And there nearby upon a tulip tree, withstanding the test of time,
Initials, bold and deep, are carved, two hearts are intertwined.
Hearts carved upon a tree, for all the world to see,
Hearts carved upon a tree, standing the test of time.
