LETTER TO A SOLDIER, A
(Gee Langdon 1956)

as recorded by Gracie Fields
with Roland Shaw & his Orchestra
1956


A letter to a soldier that I had scarcely known,
A letter to a soldier with no-one of his own.
Some mail for him to open when others get their share,
A line to show there's someone to care somewhere!

A letter to a soldier who's half a world away;
The day that it was written was my red letter day,
For that was how it all began, and now there's going to be
A letter to a soldier coming home to marry me!

A letter to a soldier who's half a world away;
The day that it was written was my red letter day,
For that was how it all began, and now there's going to be
A letter to a soldier coming home to marry me!
