Lyrics | Then You Can Come Back to Me Verse: Wonderful boy, wonderful girl, so hard to part he is leaving Her heart is strong, ‘tis not for long he, strange to say does the grieving “When shall I come back to you, dear? When will the old love renew, dear? Girlies replies, “Save all your sighs here’s when I’ll want you: Refrain: After the battle is over, and you’ve fought, as you ought to have done After you’ve served for your country and the struggle for freedom is won When you’ve revenged little Belgium and when peace on this earth there shall be, After you’ve covered yourself with glory, then you can come back to me. Verse: Wonderful girl, proud of her boy somewhere in France he is fighting Stories are told, deeds brave and bold each message reads more exciting What she had said when they parted filled him with cheer, when he started On to the fray, to win the day he could hear her say: Refrain |
