HE MADE SUCH A HANDSOME OFFICER

 

She was so proud of him

When she saw him in his uniform

He made such a handsome officer

Like everyone she was caught up

In the patriotic fervour

She wasn’t concerned about the war

“It’ll be over by Christmas” everyone said

He would soon be home again

So she revelled in the beauty 

Of her gallant hero

And she waved him off to war

She was so in love

With her officer beau
and that moment lived long

In her memory

It was her last memory of him

For the war wasn’t over by Christmas

And he wasn’t home again
