Left their letters in the sand Such waste of life Dreams of freedom turned to dust how many wasted lives How many dreams did fade away Broken promises They won't be coming home Oh mothers wipe your tears

You don't know it now Baby save up all your tears You might need them someday When the tears start to fall I won't wipe them away When you cry in the night For the love that you need Baby, save up your tears 'Cause you'll be crying over me

(Let's get married) You don't believe me Let's get married today Might as well Wipe all your tears away Sitting here Wasting my time for you And I'm not too crazy About the idea
