Lyrics
  • Liberty Statue is Looking Right at You Verse: Remember soldier boy, when you’re far away, The girl you left behind in old New York Bay, Think of Miss Liberty, gazing across the sea, She’s waiting anxiously for victory. Refrain: Liberty Statue is looking right at you, while you’re fighting over there
  • Just like a mother, she’s guiding each brother, with her light shining bright in the air, When dark clouds lower, don’t you feel blue, buck up and show her what you can do, Liberty Statue say’s “Here’s looking at you, you’re not over look’d over there.” Verse: Remember soldier boy, wherever you are, Her lamp of freedom shines for you like a star, Is she downhearted? No! She knows you’ll beat the foe, Liberty’s all aglow, she loves you so. Refrain
