IT WAS JUST A LITTLE WALK IN THE SUN
Title Ballad from the film "A Walk In The Sun" (1945)
(Music: Earl Robinson / Lyrics: Millard Lampell)


Kenneth Spencer (Film Soundtrack) - 1945


It was just a little walk
In the warm Italian sun
But it wasn't an easy thing

And poets are writing
The tale of that fight
And songs for children to sing

Let them sing of the men of a fighting platoon
Let them sing of the job they've done
How they came across the sea to sunny Italy
And took a little walk in the sun

It's that walk that leads down
Through a Phillipine town
And it hits Highway Seven, north of Rome

It's the same road they had
Coming out of Stalingrad
It's that old Lincoln Highway back home
It's wherever men fight to be free
