Lyrics | Just a Baby’s Letter (Found in No Man’s Land.) Verse: Somebody wrote a letter, to someone far away Somebody waited for an answer all thro’ each long, long day, Amid the roar and rattle, There lying on the ground, After a weary battle That letter someone found. Refrain: Just a baby’s letter found in no Man’s Land, To a soldier daddy over there, Filled with crosses at the ending, Meaning kisses baby’s sending, Just four tender words I love you daddy In a simple baby hand That was just a baby’s letter someone found in no Man’s Land. Verse: A tender little message from one across the foam Four words that made each soldier laddie, dream of his home sweet home, They faced all kinds of danger, Without a thought of fear, And still that simple letter To each eye brought a tear. Refrain |
