You ask me, stranger, why I made this journey Why I crossed three thousand miles of rolling waves Like many others, my darling was killed in action So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave Somewhere here among these many thousands Of Americans who all died true and brave That's where I know I will find him resting So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave When I come to the place where he's sleeping I know it will cause more heartache inside But I long to be by his side once more and tell him Tell him that I love him, that I will until I die Somewhere here among these many thousands Of Americans who all died true and brave That's where I know I will find him resting So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave Beside each cross mark, here all around me I'll kneel down and gladly say a prayer For all the loved ones back home across the ocean Whose heart, like mine, is buried over here Somewhere here among these many thousands Of Americans who all died true and brave That's where I know I will find him resting So I'm here and I'm searching for his grave
